Don't Shoot the Dog

Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) was profiled in a recent Bark Magazine article entitled “How to Become a Dog Trainer.” In the article, author and KPA Certified Training Partner (CTP) Kay Elliot provides sound advice on how to get started with a career in dog training and how to choose a dog training school. Elliot advises readers to “be sure that whatever academy, mentor or seminar speaker you choose promotes the use of only the most up-to-date, reward-based training methods grounded in the science of how dogs learn.” The article describes Karen Pryor Academy as the only positive-reinforcement training academy to combine the convenience of distance learning with hands-on workshops.
