Ep 90 The Truth About Dog Behaviour and Training Education

Help! My Dog: The Podcast. Dog Behaviour & Training Strategies that Work!

If you’ve ever dreamed about working with dogs, whether as a trainer, a behaviourist or someone just starting to explore the field OR you’re looking for a behaviourist and wonder what the certification scene is like, this episode is going to open your eyes. The world of dog training education is often described as a maze, and for good reason: it’s unregulated, confusing and full of pitfalls that can waste time and money. In this episode, we take a behind-the-scenes look at how the industry works, the challenges people face and why it’s so important to understand the landscape before diving in. You’ll hear honest insights, real talk about qualifications and exciting news about a new way forward. If you’ve ever wondered what the “right path” looks like, this conversation will shed light on what’s possible. Listen in and discover how you can start shaping your future in the dog world.

And we’re extending a special invitation to all of our listeners to join us on 27-29 August 2025 at 7pm BST each evening for our FREE 3-Day Passion & Purpose Unleashed event, where you can find out how to make that dream happen, how to be a transformational behaviourist for your dog or others’ dogs and so much more. Just go to https://www.helpmydog.com/CBCevent to register. We hope to see many of you there!
