The Pet Dog Ambassador (PDA) is a 5 step credentialing programme for dog guardians to test their knowledge, skills and  ability to manage their canine companion in real life settings. The aim of the credentialing programme is to acknowledge the hard work and commitment that guardians and their dogs undertake to make their shared lives enjoyable. The program recognises this team effort from a puppy’s very early training. 

Help us to encourage guardians to continue training and developing new skills, abilities and knowledge together as a team.  Join us, as an instructor you are licensed to hold and teach the PDA curriculum's in your area and if you are an assessor then you can both teach and assess pet dogs in the programme.
