APDT Makes Dog Training a Class Act!

C.L.A.S.S. is a new program to provide basic training and obedience skills for dog owners launched by The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). The program, aptly named Canine Life and Social Skills (C.L.A.S.S.), uses positive reinforcement techniques to teach proper behavior and manners, enabling pet owners to take their dogs to public places such as outdoor patios, hotels and retail stores that allow pets.

C.L.A.S.S. will teach pet owners the value of practical training skills, such as how to introduce a dog to strangers and teach basic behaviors. To begin the program, pet owners sign up at APDT’s website, which provides resources to locate a locally certified dog trainer. The dog and the owner then attend a 6-8 week program. At the end of the C.L.A.S.S. the dog is evaluated by a professional dog trainer and can achieve a certification of B.A., M.A., or Ph.D., depending on the level of assessment they go through with their dog.
