Science based training
What does CPDT-KA mean? Certified Professional Dog
Trainer-Knowledge Assessed is awarded to a person who has passed an exam
sponsored by the
Council
for the Certification of Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) and is
a certified positive reinforcement trainer. The CCPDT was started in
1999 to create a baseline of knowledge that could be measured and used as a
regulatory organization in an otherwise unregulated profession.
I am also a member of The Association of Professional Dog
Trainers ,
International Association of Canine Professionals and IAABC. So
why does that matter? Those are the associations where I go for continuing
education units, and exposure to the highly acclaimed experts in our
profession.
And how does that effect you the dog owner? You can rest
assured my trainings are science based, fear free, force free dog training. I have studied
and use scientific learning theory which simply put is how dogs learn.
