Veterinary professionals can qualify as Pet Prep Practitioners,
and Dog professionals can progress to become Pet Prep Trainers.
The Assessment Process
At Pet Prep Initiative, we believe in strong professional standards. Consistency, ethical practice, and high-quality support for pets and owners are at the heart of everything we do. Our assessment process is designed to ensure every certified professional meets these values.
1. Multiple Choice Exam
A structured exam covering key knowledge in relevant areas.
2. Three Case Studies
You will complete three case studies using our Case Study Template (provided in your assessment pack).
This template guides you to include all information required for assessment, including:
A clear overview of the case
Goals set for the client and the dog, and the reasoning behind them
Challenges encountered and how you addressed them
A summary of the training plan
Reflections and evaluation of the process
What we’re looking for:
Your ability to empathise with clients, understand both client and dog needs, communicate effectively, set appropriate goals, conduct risk assessments, and evaluate progress.
These case studies do not need to be overly detailed - the template will prompt exactly what is needed.
3. Three Training Videos
Submit three videos demonstrating you training a dog through three exercises.
One exercise must be either:
a chin target, or
muzzle training
This allows you to demonstrate your ability to build duration and progress an exercise.
Video requirements:
No need for editing, narration, or polished production.
The training does not have to be completed - just clearly showing progression.
We simply need to see your technique, understanding, and how you move an exercise forward.
You may also include a short written reflection (template included) to further demonstrate your understanding.
How to Submit
Once you have completed the course, email us at info@petprepinitiative.com. We will send your full assessment pack, including guidance notes and all required templates.
