CODE OF
ETHICS.
These principles set the tone for the association while the full instructor code, complaints procedure, and discipline-specific policies are completed.
Welfare
The physical and psychological health of the dog comes before progression, performance, or instructor preference.
Honesty
Instructors must represent qualifications, experience, and the scope of each framework accurately.
Inclusion
Training environments should be respectful, accessible where possible, and supportive of responsible learning.
Boundaries
Sport, education, wellbeing, behaviour support, and clinical services must not be blurred or overstated.
Safeguarding
The safety and dignity of students, instructors, volunteers, and the public are part of good training practice.
