How can a small organisation shape an entire profession? That’s the question Ned Wells and Ruth Davis explore with Jason Light, Director of PACT Dogs Ltd 🐾
Four and a half years ago, PACT Dogs had a handful of members and a single course. Today it has 400+ members across the UK and internationally, delivering accredited training and helping set professional standards for dog trainers and behaviourists 📈
We talk about how sustainability is embedded in their model, from carbon reporting and scholarships to creating a nature-rich, low-impact training venue 🌱
A fascinating look at professional standards, environmental responsibility, and the unexpected influence dog trainers can have on people and communities 👥
