Is Your Dog Trainer "Popular" or "Impactful"? Why 2025 is the year of the Pet Parent.

Welcome to the final episode of 2024!  2025 is becoming the year to not simply demand more from industry leaders that have no interest in providing more, but rather, finding those solutions, stepping outside the comfort zone and putting one's own goals first!  Does this sound selfish? Pet professionals cannot succeed in this industry by following mainstream, pleasing the industry, remaining loyal to leaders who are more concerned with their own success than that of dog trainers.  Continuing to divide the industry and blaming pet parents  drives away progress. Pet parents, having an allegiance only to their dog, family, and community expect more from their trainers, and pet professionals need to provide the solutions. When pet professionals empower themselves, they are better equipped to educate pet parents, and, in turn, the needs of dogs are met.  The launch of the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy is much more than the launching of a one-of-a-kind institute - it represents the movement toward positioning pet parents and forward-thinking, brave, dog trainers as leaders in the canine behavior and animal welfare realms.Empower Yourself to Make An Impact.  We invite you to research our courses, including our flagship diploma program.
