Choosing a dog trainer is an important decision for every pet owner, and understanding a trainer’s qualifications can make a big difference in your dog’s success. At The Dog Behavioural Trainer, we are proud to be a Delta certified dog trainer, which means we have completed one of the most respected and comprehensive dog training certifications in Australia.
What is Delta Certification?
Delta certification is awarded through the Delta Institute, one of Australia’s leading organisations for animal behaviour and training education. Trainers with this certification have completed the ACM40322 Certificate IV in Animal Behaviour and Training, a nationally recognised qualification that sets the standard for positive, science-based dog training.
Why Delta Certification Matters?
Choosing a Delta certified dog trainer means choosing a professional who prioritises humane, effective training methods based on the latest research in animal behaviour. Here’s why this matters for you and your dog:
Positive, Force-Free Training Methods
Delta certified dog trainers use only positive reinforcement and force-free training methods. This means we focus on rewarding the behaviours you want to see in your dog, rather than using punishment or fear. This approach not only builds trust and strengthens the bond between you and your dog, but it also creates long-lasting behavioural change.
Comprehensive Education and Practical Experience
To become a Delta certified dog trainer, trainers complete a rigorous curriculum that covers everything from puppy training to advanced behavioural modification. This includes practical, hands-on experience in real-world settings, ensuring Delta trainers are well-prepared to handle a wide range of dog behaviours.
Ongoing Professional Development
Delta-certified trainers are committed to ongoing education. They stay up to date with the latest research and best practices in animal behaviour, ensuring your dog benefits from the most current, effective training methods available.
Nationally Recognised and Trusted
The Delta Institute is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 90250), making its qualifications some of the most respected in the industry. When you choose a Delta certified dog trainer, you can trust that your dog is in the hands of a professional who has met the highest standards in the field.
