ABCDT-L2 Overview

The ABCDT-L2 is a level 2 dog training certification. The goal of the ABCDT-L2 test is to objectively test a trainers knowledge on a variety of common training philosophies and techniques, whether they use them or not. It is purposely designed not to endorse any single training viewpoint or method. The test is written for dog trainers who have professional dog training experience and have pursued continuing education in this industry. It is the goal of Animal Behavior College that professional trainers who achieve ABCDT-L2 status will be knowledgeable about a broad spectrum of techniques and theories.

Having the ABCDT-L2 designation proves a dog trainer has a solid foundation of dog training experience, as well as knowledge in teaching abilities, learning theory, canine behavior and more. This certification will set ABCDT-L2 trainers apart from other trainers and shows their clients the level of training, experience, and knowledge they have to offer!
