The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, AVSAB, has a great page of position statements you can find here. They have a position statement on how to choose a trainer and on humane dog training in addition to others. In the position statement on how to choose a trainer, the Karen Pryor Academy is listed as an example of one of the training programs that meets their position statement’s criteria. I am a Karen Pryor Academy-Certified Training Partner.

Clicker training from the basic to the advanced with Karen Pryor here. ~ If you've never used clicker training, you should give it a try! It's the best way to break down a behavior into tiny steps and get that big behavior trained. If you have used clicker training but it's been awhile, refresh your mind. You and your dog or cat will greatly benefit. Yes, clicker training works with cats, too!
