Why Should I Donate?
All the admins within the DTAS group have their own lives to run, their own businesses to run, and their own dogs to take care of.
We love providing people with the help and advice they need, but our time does cost money and we cannot check that everyone who is asking for help genuinely needs free help.
After some serious consideration, we have decided to ask those who have found the group useful if they would consider making a donation they can afford.
The donations will be split each month between the admins who did the most work that month. That varies according to everyone's availability. However Facebook now shows us admin activity so we can split the 'tips' fairly.
If you do not want to donate or you cannot afford to donate, that's fine, we will still read your question and offer advice.
Our Story
From a tiny Facebook group, Dog Training Advice and Support has grown into a huge resource with getting on for 60,000 registered users asking 100s of questions daily, a team of qualified and experienced dog professionals, and a database of useful articles and resources for owners to educate themselves with.
What We Do
We aim to provide dog training advice and support for those who need it most who may not be able to access it or afford it.
We want to ensure everyone can access modern, safe and science based advice to help their dog.
