Student Results
What Our Students Say
The Practitioner completely changed how I approach dog training. The shadow days with the Trident team were invaluable — you can't get that level of hands-on experience anywhere else.
I came in as a hobbyist and left as a professional. The curriculum is genuinely world-class and the support from the trainers throughout was second to none.
Worth every penny. Within three months I had the confidence, the knowledge, and the network to launch my own training business. Trident delivered on every promise.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Practitioner is limited to a maximum of 6 students per cohort. This is intentional — it ensures every student receives direct, hands-on attention from our trainers throughout the 3-month programme.
No formal experience is required, but a genuine passion for working with dogs is essential. The programme is designed to take committed individuals from foundational knowledge through to professional-level competency.
The fee covers the full 3-month programme including all shadow days, online learning modules, practical training days, assessments, and your certification ceremony. There are no hidden costs.
Shadow days and practical sessions are held at our training facility in the UK. Online learning modules can be completed from anywhere at your own pace alongside the in-person components.
Graduates receive their Trident certification and gain access to our graduate network — an active community of professional dog trainers. Ongoing support post-graduation is included.
