Until the creation of the Certification Council for Pet Dog
Trainers in 2001, there was no nationally available
certification process for dog trainers. The CCPDT's
certification program is the first national certification for
dog trainers.

their specific programs. These certificates, therefore, reflect
the teachings and quality of a specific school. Other
organizations offer take-home tests for "certification." These
tests are not monitored, nor are the testing processes
standardized.
Candidates who pass the exam earn the title Certified Pet Dog
Trainer and may use the designation, "CPDT," after their names.
As creators of the examination, the task force members have also
earned the use of the CPDT designation.
All certified trainers must earn continuing education credits to
