Benefits of Membership
The Guild is a modern organisation with the best trained and qualified
membership in Britain today - thereby offering the public a mark
of excellence when they choose a GoDT trainer.
Sense of belonging
The Guild has a distinctive logo for the use of all members on websites
and stationery, symbolising your part of a large professional organisation.
A pin badge supplied at joining gives you a sense of identity when
you visit a client and immediately identifies you as belonging to
a professional body.
Waist bags, waterproof jackets, lanyards, bodywarmers and training
lead sporting the Guild’s shield can be purchased to enhance
your professional image, again, declaring that as a trainer you
are part of a larger whole. Further merchandise is being made available
all the time; keep up to date with our
merchandise.
Identity and Recognition by the public
The Guild’s shield will make you instantly recognisable to
the public as more and more trainers display the shield on their
websites and work materials
A regular emailed newsletter
With up to date information about what the Guild is doing and what
is happening in the world of dogs. In a profession where we work
on our own a lot of the time, it’s nice to know we’re
not alone
Mentoring
There’s always a master trainer to talk to if you need to
discuss a difficult case or would like advice on a technique or
equipment
A Voice
The Guild will ‘stand up and be counted’ on your behalf.
As this booklet went to press the Guild was attending meetings with
the Companion Animal Welfare Council (CAWC) in relation to the regulations
that are being introduced for dog behaviour practitioners and trainers
The Guild’s website
Each full member has a personalised ‘Find a Trainer’
page on the Guild’s website and is created from information
supplied by you upon joining
Discounted products
As a full member of the Guild of Dog Trainers you can receive
discounts of up to 10% with major suppliers of dog training
equipment
High Standards
Not everyone can join the Guild of Dog Trainers. Experience is asked
for and references are followed up.
