A major shift just hit the dog training world, and it affects every family with a dog.
The new Joint Standards of Practice were released, bringing together the leading organizations in our field under one clear message: fear-, pain-, and intimidation-based training has no place in modern, professional work.
Noticeably missing from the list is the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.
After months of refusing to correct their blatant misinformation about AVSAB (even after AVSAB felt obliged to release their own statement to clarify because of the misinformation being spread by CCPDT), CCPDT continues to operate under outdated frameworks that still allow shock, prong, and choke devices.
Now, the CCPDT has been firmly left behind, as the rest of the industry finally moves forward.
This is about public safety, scientific integrity, and protecting the public and their dogs.
Dog training is evolving.
The science is clear.
And organizations choosing to cling to harmful methods are being exposed.
