Mission Statement

The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers establishes and maintains humane standards of competence for animal training and behavior professionals through criteria based on experience, standardized testing, skills and continuing education, and identifies and markets those individuals to the public.

The CCPDT mission statement reflects the dual mission of The CCPDT:

• To provide professional standards to support and promote the animal training and behavior professions
• To provide a means for animal owners to identify professional certified trainers and behavior consultants.
