Why Hire A Karen Pryor Trainer?

Positive solutions and peace of mind. Dog training is an unregulated industry– anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. Hiring a KPA-CTP gives you the assurance that you and your dog is trained by a professional who has accomplished one of the most intensive training programs available, and who is committed to only humane, evidence based training techniques
