Associate Member application
Thank you for your interest in joining the Pet Dog Trainers of Europe! We are a global network of dog trainers and professionals, and our vision is to build a world in which dogs are understood, respected and treated with kindness and empathy. All our members are asked to adhere to a Code of Ethics and we would ask that you read this in full prior to applying: www.pdte.eu/about

Applying for PDTE membership consists of 3 modules:
1. Application Form
2. Case Study
3. Video upload

The application form allows us to find out more about you and why you want to join the organisation, and we appreciate you taking the time to fill it in. Once we've received the application form the Membership Secretary will send you a case study to review and answer the question about that specific case study. You will also receive a request (incl. upload instructions) to send in a video walking your/a dog.

Your application can only be processed when all 3 modules are completed.

The fee for Associate Membership is €68 (£60) per year. It is payable once you have been accepted and is renewed annually in September (members joining on or after 1 January will have membership until August the following year).

Due to the variety of backgrounds of applicants, some of the questions below may not be directly relevant to you. Please answer as fully as possible so we are able to consider your application. Our Board meets virtually once a month, so processing applications can take a number of weeks. Thank you in advance for your patience!
