In this episode of the Modern Dog Trainer Podcast, we had Nan Arthur on to discuss the importance of developing your training skills as a professional dog trainer. As the author of Chill Out Fido! How To Calm Your Dog, Nan brings 23 years of experience and works with dog professionals, shelter employees and volunteers, and pet dog owners.
Nan is also a Karen Pryor Academy faculty member, and holds one of the highest certifications available by the Certification Council For Professional Dog Trainers, is a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, and is a Certification Instructor for the Dog*Tec Dog Walking Academy; all of which require continuing education to maintain those certifications.
Through her business, Beacon of Hope Dog Behavior and Training Services, Nan and her trainers provide dog training classes in addition to private behavior and training classes for both dogs and cats and their people. She also lectures and holds seminars that help the public and other trainers understand dog behavior.
