Maren Bruun CPDT-KA Certification!
Maren is certified by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers www.ccpdt.org which is recognized internationally for the testing and certification of dog trainers. It means Maren holds the designation of Certified Pet Dog Trainer - Knowledge assessed (CPDT-KA).
The CPDT-KA is the most recognized and respected dog training certification worldwide. It denotes a dog trainer who has demonstrated excellence in the field of dog training and has shown this by:
1. working in the field for a minimum of 300 hours;
2. providing references from a veterinarian, colleague, and client; and
3. passing a comprehensive examination that tests the trainer’s knowledge of the science of dog training; core areas that are assessed in the exam are instruction skills, animal husbandry, ethology (behaviour), learning theory, equipment, business practices and ethics.
The CCPDT is the only independent certification for professional pet dog trainers. As such, the certification is neither tied to membership in any organization nor tied to graduation from a specific school. The certification is administered by independent proctors only after the applicant meets all the published criteria to sit for the examination. Competence and continued professional growth is promoted through the recertification of qualified professionals. This independence distinguishes the CPDT-KA certification from other dog trainer certificates and dog trainer certification programs.
When you hire a CPDT-KA you can trust that they not only have the experience of training, but have sound knowledge that is well rounded, based on the science of canines, and is kept up to date on the most humane and effective methods.
It requires continuing education to maintain certification.
