Partnership Grades
Our exclusive EDTUK Partnership Grades are designed to recognise and celebrate the working relationship between you and your dog.
These grades focus on cooperation, communication, and reliability, rewarding teams who demonstrate a strong partnership built through consistent training and understanding.
The programme provides a clear progression pathway while maintaining a supportive and encouraging training environment for both handlers and dogs.
