The Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor programme

A 14-month professional training and development pathway for dog trainers who want to specialise in teaching pet gundogs.

Established by Lez Graham in 2016, the Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor Programme combines gundog training, behaviour, learning theory, professional practice and extensive practical development.

Students work through structured study, assignments and three intensive practical workshops, developing both their own handling skills and their ability to teach owners effectively. Successful completion leads to accreditation by Lez Graham and the opportunity to become a licensed Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor.

Behaviour Consultation Masterclass

A two-day, in-person masterclass for canine behaviour professionals who want to develop their practical consultation skills.

Led by Lez Graham, the Behaviour Consultation Masterclass moves beyond theory to explore what actually happens within a behaviour consultation, from gathering and interpreting information to assessing the dog, working with the owner and developing realistic behaviour modification strategies.

With discussion, practical application and real-world case work, the masterclass is designed for professionals who want to strengthen their clinical reasoning, consultation skills and confidence when working with behaviour cases.

Level 5 Diploma Canine Behaviour Practitioner

An advanced professional qualification for those looking to develop their knowledge and practice in canine behaviour.

The Level 5 Diploma takes students beyond foundation-level behaviour and training, developing a deeper understanding of canine needs, behaviour change, assessment, learning, welfare and professional practice.

Through structured study, assignments and applied work, students are expected to analyse, evaluate and justify their approach rather than simply describe training methods. The programme is designed to develop knowledgeable, reflective practitioners capable of making evidence-informed decisions when working with dogs and their owners.
