Who is this qualification for?

The GA Level 4 Diploma in Canine Physical Training qualification has been developed to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals within the evolving canine conditioning and training sector. As canine sports, working dog roles, and pet lifespans continue to grow, there is an increasing need for practitioners who can provide structured, land-based exercise programmes to support mobility, strength, and injury prevention. This qualification provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of canine anatomy and physiology, movement analysis, functional assessment, and conditioning programme design. It also equips learners with the practical skills to assess canine physical fitness, implement tailored training strategies, and adapt exercises, with and without the use of equipment, to suit a wide range of canines and canine performance goals. It is an ideal qualification for anyone from any background who has experience of canine handling and who wishes to become a canine physical trainer and enhance their career prospects in the animal care and training sector.
