Work with Certified Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA®)
At Canine Foundations’ Training Academy, we are proud to celebrate our graduates who have gone on to achieve the Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA®) credential through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT).
This internationally recognized certification represents a high standard of knowledge, skill, and ethical practice in the field of dog training. CPDT-KA trainers are committed to ongoing education, proven training methods, and the well-being of both dogs and their people.
When you work with a CPDT-KA professional, you can trust that you’re receiving guidance from a trainer who has demonstrated:
- A solid foundation in learning theory and canine behaviour
- Practical hands-on training experience
- A commitment to humane, science-based training methods
- Adherence to a professional code of ethics
We are proud to introduce our graduates who carry this respected credential and continue to raise the standard of professional dog training.
