Care with Consent Certification Application

Care with Consent Certification Application
We welcome all animal trainers who have a passion for Care with Consent, Force-Free training, and being a Change Maker.

As trainers and consultants, we work with all types of people, from clients to fellow animal professionals. The more diverse our graduates are, the stronger our organization is now and in the future. You have a Doodle - Great, you must have some fantastic experience to share. You used to be a balanced trainer - we’re cool with that. We were, too. It makes us more passionate about positive training. You got your start training in a big box store - Welcome, we all start somewhere. You have intact animals and breed - We can’t wait for you to share puppy pics. Your dogs are on behavioral medications - Thank you for putting your dog's needs before your ego.
If you share these ideals and want to learn, support other trainers in the program, and think a little out of the “black box,” we look forward to meeting you.
