TRAINERS:
Disclaimer: Not all trainers are created equal! At Ardmore Animal Hospital, we do not support negative reinforcement or punishment based training techniques. We suggest avoiding board and train facilities or “camps”. We generally recommend selecting a trainer with an active certification such as CPDT-KA and/or KPA-CPT, showing their commitment to formal education. You can choose to work with a trainer in-person or virtually, and both can produce fantastic results.Â
