Developing the next generation of canine professionals
IICBT was created for people who want more than a certificate and a vague idea of what comes next. Established in 2015, we have earned our reputation as one of the UK’s leading dog trainer education providers by focusing on what matters most: serious education, practical capability, and a clearer route into professional canine work.
We exist to develop capable, credible professionals in dog training and canine behaviour. That means giving learners more than course access. It means building practical skill, professional judgement, client confidence, and a stronger foundation for real work.
Our learners include career changers, aspiring dog trainers, developing behaviour practitioners, and canine professionals who want to raise their standard and strengthen their future in the industry. Some want to launch a new business. Others want to deepen their expertise, expand their services, or move into more advanced practice.
In every case, the goal is the same: to help serious people build serious careers.
Too many canine courses are built for completion, not for real-world success. They offer generic lessons, a simple online exam, and a certificate at the end, but very little that prepares someone to work professionally with dogs and owners.
IICBT was built in response to that.
Because the real job is not just training dogs. It is training dogs and the people attached to them. That demands more than knowledge alone. It demands practical skill, professional judgement, client confidence, and the ability to build a service people trust.
Getting qualified is one thing. Building a profitable, ethical career is another. That is why IICBT is designed to go further than course delivery alone, giving learners a stronger route into serious canine work.

What makes IICBT different
IICBT combines professional training, practical development, and business support to help learners build credible careers in the canine industry.
Fast Track Routes
Move quickly if you’re ready, or pace your study around work and family. We show you exactly how to get qualified, not just “work through the content”.
Practical Workshops
Train in person at places owners recognise, including The Kennel Club at Stoneleigh and partner centres across the UK, not just in a village hall.
Unlimited tutor Access
Ask questions as often as you need. You get direct access to practising trainers and behaviour specialists, not a ticket system and stock replies.
Study From Anywhere
Log in, watch lessons, download templates and keep going. All core teaching lives online so you can build your new career from your sofa, not a classroom.
Support to Build a Business
We talk pricing, services, marketing and client handling, so you leave with a plan to earn from your skills, not just a certificate for the wall.
Training People Trust
Your courses are backed by an independent institute and recognised through the iPET Network PDR scheme, giving you something credible to show vets, employers and clients.
