Hear What Other Trainers Are Saying

I have never taken a course that provides such individualized attention, applicable tools, helpful tips and guidelines, “real life” experiences, and advanced knowledge. This program sets a new level of standard in canine behavior education.
— Harrison O’Neill - I.C.P. Student, 2024
Witnessing a dog process and decide to continue walking without reacting, was so different from anything I had experienced when using reinforcement and rewards. My client cried tears of joy. She could feel her dog’s comfort.
— Jake Cove, CCBT Instructor
My journey as a trainer started with a positive reinforcement certification, which was great, but I wanted to keep learning to better serve my clients. I engaged in many canine behavior related courses, and nothing compares to the programs offered by ICP.
