Everyone leaves these sessions buzzing and wanting to know more! We want that for you too. This is a remarkable learning experience and a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded people.

About the CIDBT
CAMBRIDGE INSTITUTE OF DOG BEHAVIOUR & TRAINING
CIDBT was established in 2005 by a number of canine behaviour practitioners and specialist dog trainers, who worked alongside academics from London’s Middlesex University to provide some of the most advanced dog courses in the UK. Formation came about in response to the evolution of a number of dog behaviour “qualifications” that were being taught by people who had never worked in the dog behaviour and training industry and so we started to redress this imbalance.
Our aim was to simply educate future canine professionals in the real skills and practical experience required to successfully work in this profession. After creating hundreds of successful careers, we remain just as committed to ensuring we deliver honesty, openness and integrity and have an amazing team of highly qualified and true professionals who are passionate about people and dogs.
Originally based at our bespoke Training Centre in Cambridge, we now operate workshops at more central locations throughout the UK, allowing greater access to all those interested in this fulfilling career.
We support you all of the way…
Hundreds of successful students
CIDBT is one of the highest rated dog behaviour training schools in the country. Don't take our word for it, our students testify to this!
Linda Malliff
Student
"...By implementing everything I had learned I was able to positively reform his behaviour and very quickly Zuri became a well balanced, kind and confident dog. He can now deal with any situation calmly, adores our other Labrador, Storm, and loves nothing more than hacking out with me and my horse!"

Student
"The CIDBT is an amazing school and after having tried out a few it was head and shoulders above the rest. It benefits both professionals and novices due to their vast and varied courses which build on each other. Having said that even the most basic course offers true value even to a professional as there is always a faster, more efficient way for training something or another approach to a concept one is already aware of. I have found them simply invaluable..."
