Our Mission at INTO Dogs

A members-only organisation for Dog Trainers, Behaviourists and other dog professionals, promoting positive, kind methods in order to enhance the quality of life for owners and dogs.
Membership offers exchange of ideas, support and advice but not for the promotion of any one method to the exclusion of all else (so long as it is in accordance with the gentle ethic of Into Dogs)
High ethical standards with the welfare of the dog central to the work
Keeping abreast continually with new regulations and teachings
How we began
Trying to find the best methods and people to help you and your dog is a minefield. INTO Dogs was formed as a non profit-making Association for Dog Trainers/Behaviourists who believe that communication and understanding with our dogs is paramount to healthy and happy lives for us all.
Our guarantee
Through experience we have found that different forms of training using gentle motivational methods and complimentary therapies can also help us to build up a responsive and mutually respectful relationship with our dogs.
When teaching people how to interact, train and help their dogs live in our world, the methods used will all be kind and gentle
Your dog will never be forced into a situation he/she is not ready to handle and will never be subjected to shock collars or any other harsh training techniques by anyone you find on our list of members.
Our pledge
We will continue to educate ourselves and our members to achieve the highest standards of knowledge, so that we are able to pass this on to our clients.
Veterinary personnel know that all INTO Dogs members are happy to work closely with the referring practice, giving them the confidence they require to recommend our members to offer help to their clients.
"When a client contacts me I can direct them to the INTODOGS site which reassures them that I only work to consistently high standards. Feedback from clients is continually monitored by intodogs. I only use kind methods. Their dog after all is there best friend and therefore should be treated as such"
