  Kendall M. asked:

  Are there any reputable therapy dog trainers/classes in Kentucky? Would like to learn as much as possible before getting the dog to train in the first place. Don't want to mess anything up. Willing to pay top dollar for the guidance as well. Any advice is appreciated this will be my first therapy dog and I am very excited! Please no negative comments. Thank you!

  

  Sally A. replied:

  in looking over their requirements it looks very much like TDI and you may be better off going that way if your dog has the right personality. They also mention the AKC CGC and Pet partners test, however the testing itself seems like most other tests a nd comes down to how well your dog listens to commands and the dogs personality. IF you have a dog that is frightened of people or of situations then it will not likely pass the test. The other organization I mentioned above you don't need anything more than basic training in commands and get the dog used to different items such as medical equipment , and get the dog used to places and people. Any positive obedience trainer can pretty much set you up with obedience training and many do give the CGC but it is not necessary for you to do any of that with TDI if you already have a well behaved dog that likes people. you can take the test anytime one is given in your area and if you happen to fail you can take it again at a later date just practice on what the evaluator tells you went wrong. if you go to www.tdi-dog.org and look under testing requirements you will see what your dog needs to do to pass the test. Again any trainer can help you with that. try this site to find a positive trainer in your area clicker trainers https://www.karenpryoracademy.com/find-a-trainer

  California???? H E L P!!!! I live in VA...but have this desperate friend in SoCA who needs a trainer recommendation in southern CA. Does anyone know of a good R+ type trainer for a young GSD???? You can message and leave info here. Thanks all.

  Here is a link to find a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner. Just put in the zip code. All KPAs (I'm one but not in that region) are certified in training using R+ and even have to sign an ethics agreement to train that way. You can't go wrong https://www.karenpryoracademy.com/find-a-trainer

  Hi I've been a dog groomer for 25yrs & dabbled in behaviour nothing too problematic, but I'm working in rescue increasingly and mostly with Doberman rescue now- I would love to offer free behavioural advice & work with dogs to avoid them having to be given up in the first place- so am looking to train & get some qualifications - where do I start please? I'm in Northampton but willing to travel & volunteer shadowing anyone.kind enough to help- thanks xx

  

  Sarah S. replied:

  This is a fantastic way to find a nearby trainer who is committed to entirely force-free, positive reinforcement training and has invested a lot to have a solid understanding through the Karen Pryor professional dog trainers course to get there. https://www.karenpryoracademy.com/find-a-trainer

  Megan N. asked:

  Need help training my Shiba inu puppy she's 5.5 months old and is starting to show signs of aggression . Any recommendations ? I'm located in Rindge nh Ps. Do not go to land of giants kennels for training ! My dog was in and out of the vet because he used a choke collar on her and caused soft tissue damage and some fractured bones in her throat . Dogs should only have positive training !
