I did the Bishop Burton foundation degree course - it's good because you can go with your dog, and you have to do practicals to a certain level (think it was intermediate and advanced). Very useful. We used to go up for the week and stay in a b and b with our dog

Aren't they all?

For me there is good and bad things in all courses.
I'm waiting for the KCAI to be on-line so you don't need loads of paper and a pencil with a rubber!
A simple data base where you tick radial buttons would work. Easy to view and easy to update.

Hi About dog training,to much paperwork.I learned by being with very good trainers,and picking things up,cant beat people from what you call the old school.What you find these trainers dont hold any paperwork saying they are trainers.

It is also extremely important to keep up to date with dog training and behaviour. there have been some huge leaps in dog training and to ignore those will not help the dog.
If you don't like paper then get the books which are necessary to read on Kindle!
