After a ton of hard work, studying and perseverance we are excited to announce we passed our Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed test!
What does this mean exactly? It means that in March 2018 we wrote a 250 question test along with hundreds of other dog trainers world wide to assess our dog training knowledge and skills and came out with a 92%! What it means for our clients is when you hire us you get someone who has over 300+ hours of experience, is committed to continuing education to learn new and improving theories and techniques, has a signed attestation from a veterinarian stating that we demonstrates positive relationships with clients and safe handling of dogs and is respected by their peers as a fellow professional. |
