Dog Trainer Certification
The only certified dog trainer within 50 miles of Oxford MS is Niki Tudge with The DogSmith. The APDT members list describes what a certified dog trainer is....
As a way of recognizing our members who have demonstrated their professionalism by attaining certification and as encouragement to those who have yet to do so, the APDT has established a "Professional Member" classification.
Professional Membership is only available to members who have earned related certification(s) from an approved organization that is recognized by the APDT Board of Directors. At present, this list includes seven approved designations from five different organizations. The list below will be reviewed by the APDT Board at least once a year and designations will be added or deleted as appropriate.
Remember, you must possess at least one of the certifications below in order for your APDT Professional Membership to be approved.
