INTO Dogs has created the Code of Professional Conduct and Responsibility to set out aims and
guidelines for our members of all levels to provide outstanding service and pursue continuing
education. We also hope that this will give dog owners the confidence that our members are
knowledgeable, caring and able to help them achieve their training needs through the use of
dog-friendly training.
Provide honest, professional services of the highest standards.
Use training methods that adhere to INTO Dogs mission of dog-friendly training.
Treat all dogs and clients with respect.
Respect clients’ wishes regarding the training of their dogs.
Continue my professional development by reading relevant materials; attending suitable
conferences, workshops and seminars etc
Not give guarantees regarding the outcome of training, because there is no sure way to
guarantee the cooperation and performance of all parties involved and because the knowledge
of animal behaviour is incomplete. This should not be confused with a desire to guarantee
client satisfaction with professional services.
Hold the privacy of my clients in confidence and all information obtained in the course of
professional services, unless otherwise agreed upon in advance.
Be respectful of colleagues and other professionals and not falsely condemn the character
of their professional acts
