ABC Is Not Currently Taking Applications for the ABCDT-L2 Certification
We apologize for the inconvenience. However, we will continue to offer re-certification to trainers who currently hold the ABCDT-L2 certification.
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.
