Membership in NADOI gives an instructor opportunities to exchange ideas about class training programs, teaching techniques, problem dogs, apprentice programs, indeed, every facet of dog obedience training, with other instructors from many countries.

Endorsement by NADOI is a vote of confidence to the instructor. It tells him or her that his experience and abilities have met the minimum standard set by the Association, and his abilities and approaches to training are within the guiding principles of the Code of Ethics.
