Directory

There are several steps that need to take place before the directory can be published:

1. An invitation to review the CWA 1000:2025 Dog Training Business Standard has been sent to nine international dog-related organizations for comment. Responses were requested by 12/15/2025.
2. A Standards Assessment Board will be formed (SAB), and it will be independent of CWA. The first task will be to review the standard as well.
3. The Tier 1 (completing a questionnaire and providing some documentation) assessment documents need to be written.
4. Invitations to participate in CWA will be sent to all known local dog trainers. Absent participation, the businesses will still be listed in the directory.
5. The public will be informed of CWA and how the organization functions for their benefit.
