PlanePaws approves organisations that meet the governance, insurance, competence, and quality criteria set out in the ESTCA standard. Approval is granted by PlanePaws under licence from the ESTCA Association — it is not a marketplace listing.
Create an account, register your organisation, and accept the provider terms. PlanePaws then reviews and approves your organisation.
Complete the train-the-trainer module: read the three orientation sections and pass the short knowledge quiz. Any member of your organisation can do this.
Once your organisation is approved and a trainer passes the quiz, you appear in the trainer directory with the gold ESTCA-approved mark.
Register dogs entering the programme, log progress across the five assessment areas, and submit video evidence for quality assurance. Platform fees apply when you certify dogs; registry publication follows ESTCA processes.

€0 platform fee until your first certification
What trainers charge dog owners for training itself (often around €100–€499, depending on the dog and the programme) is entirely between the owner and the trainer. PlanePaws never sets, collects, or decides that fee.
The full approval framework and assessment areas are defined in the ESTCA standard, published at estca.eu
