Finding a trainer can be an incredibly frustrating process. Dog training is currently an unregulated business and because of this, anyone can call themselves a dog trainer.
To make the search easier we hope that we can encourage our followers to go to the Certified Council for Professional Dog Trainers website. They are one of the largest organizations to offer a nation wide certification program.
"The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), established in 2001, is the leading independent certifying organization for the dog training profession. The CCPDT is the leader in the development of rigorous exams to demonstrate mastery of humane, science-based dog training practices. Thousands of dog training professionals worldwide maintain the CCPDT’s certifications as a mark of high professional distinction."
Justice for Bullies advocates for least instructive, minimally aversive training techniques.
