CANZ Accredited Animal Trainers & Animal Training Instructors

Animal Trainers and Animal Training Instructors are experts in training animal behaviour. This may be teaching basic “manners” such as sit, stay and recall, through to more specialised training such as in agility, tricks or Nosework.

Animal Training Instructors work closely with the animal guardian, effectively training the guardian how to train the animal. Animal Trainers work more directly with the animal rather than the guardian, for example in training animals for film or television work.
