The National Dog Trainers Federation (NDTF) Certificate 3 in Dog Behaviour & Training is Australia’s only government-approved and nationally recognised professional dog trainer certificate. It is Australia’s longest running and most comprehensive dog trainer certification program. The course is also a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework. The NDTF’s professional dog training courses combine theoretical canine behavioural education with an industry leading ‘hands on’ component. Unlike some other courses, the NDTF has cultivated a team featuring a wide variety of experts from various specialist dog training and canine behaviour-related backgrounds. Most importantly the NDTF does not force its students to take on any particular style of training; there is no ideology to be found here. We would encourage you to be very careful when anyone tries to tell you how you "MUST" conduct yourself, or impose their ideology on you. That advice applies to dog training and beyond! *** Thank you for listening! If you enjoyed the show, please share this episode with someone who would benefit from it.

It has been almost 10 years since Panos has raised his own puppy - time to put into practice what he teaches to others. The new puppy will be future help for Nooch's Pooches, but first and foremost he is the family's dog. We discuss reviewing Panos' marker system and naming of commands to save confusion for the dog. Setting up house and car, being prepared with a good management system.  A plan of what will be worked on in the first 6 months is discussed. Panos also announces that he will be recording an online program for puppy development and training, along with all the ins and outs for the first 6 months.

We tend to talk a lot to our dogs on a daily basis, and this can cause confusion in your commands. Panos explains the difference between a formal command (e.g. COME) and informal command (e.g. LET'S GO). We all wish to have clear communication with our dogs - put some of this advice into practice and see how you go.

"Good management" is a term you may have heard many times throughout our podcast episodes. It truly is the foundation upon which your dog's training must be built. When we build a house on an unsteady foundation of sand, we should expect to suffer the consequences. Dogs are no different. A dog whose foundations are built on solid bedrock will have a happy and fulfilling life as a member of its family.
