Very disappointed
As i said , you did offer me email support . I think a few actual conversations would have helped me on my way . It was email support you offered - as i said in my reveiw . A human touch would have gone a long way .

Superb course!
Superb course and great intro into dog training. Mus is a wonderful tutor and gave clear understanding of what we covered. I thoroughly enjoyed it, loved that it was over 4 evenings so I could still work and I've met some lovely people from the group
Cash for Courses over quality content 2 day instructors
This review relates to The two day instructors course over 4 evenings.
It is a very quick run through of subjects including learning theory and body language. Throughout the presentation there were links on the slides so that you could buy additional courses from IMDT I also lost count the times webinars and other courses were mentioned by the instructor.
The instructor was friendly and clearly knowledgable and controlled the online chat box very well switching it off regularly to stop the constant chatter. He also came online early to answer training queries. The course is delivered at quite a fast pace.
I came away with very little increased understanding of learning theory and while the 4 day instructors course was pushed for the umpteenth time I would not feel at all confirming doing that from this course.
I like IMDT, Steve Mann and the rest of the team I have had contact with previously but seriously felt from this course the organisation is becoming a cash cow. There were repeats of videos they have displayed before which was fortunate as the videos were laggy and impossible to identify body language from. It was mentioned In the chat the replays were not functioning properly but wasn’t picked up.
Overall not terribly impressed by the standard of course content and it has changed my previously very positive view of the IMDT.

Amazing four day course
This is an absolute must of you are serious about becoming a better dog trainer, it's crazy how much I progressed over four days. All of the instructors were amazing, they really took their time to make sure everyone understood what was going on. I cannot wait to continue my journey with the IMDT.

The Recall webinar is fantastic.
The Recall webinar is a fantastic resource that is well delivered and keeps you engaged throughout. It breaks each stage down and is easy to follow. Great videos for each exercise.

This was such a fantastic 4 days
This was such a fantastic 4 days. The instructors were so supportive and encouraging, and their knowledge was immense! I thoroughly enjoyed it and just wish it could have been longer! I wanted to gain some practical experience to go alongside the Level 4 behaviour correspondence course and this made a lot of things fall into place for me. I would highly recommend to both budding trainers and behaviourists. Thank you IMDT!

EASY PEASY PUPPY INSTRUCTOR COURSE
🌟 I’m officially an IMDT Easy Peasy Puppy Instructor! 🐶🐾
Two weeks ago, I took part in the three day Easy Peasy Puppy Instructor Course in West Sussex – and what an incredible experience it was!
Despite teaching puppy classes for the past two years, I was amazed at how much I learned. The course was packed with practical knowledge, real-life strategies, and fresh perspectives that I can’t wait to bring into my future puppy classes and 1:1 sessions.
A huge thank you to Steve Mann and Tania Chappelle Imdt , who delivered the course with so much energy, passion, and humour. It was fun, inspiring, and so supportive from start to finish – exactly what dog training should feel like!
And... I’m so proud to say… I passed my assessment! 🥳 I’m now officially part of the Easy Peasy family and currently celebrating with a well-earned glass of fizz (served in my fabulous new Easy Peasy branded mug, of course! 😜🧡☕️)
If you’re thinking about deepening your puppy training knowledge or adding something special to your practice – I couldn’t recommend this course enough!

Usually I find video based learning to be inferior to in person by a fair amount, but IMDT have bridged that gap magnificently!
