My experience with the Karen Pryor Academy exceeded all expectations. I learned so much—not only about the science of animal training, but also about my own approach, confidence, and communication as a trainer.A huge part of that was thanks to my incredible instructor, Laurie. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly relatable. Her kind, steady guidance kept me grounded, especially during moments when I felt overwhelmed or uncertain. She created a supportive environment that made it safe to learn, ask questions, and grow.The final in-person workshop week was the perfect culmination of everything we’d worked so hard for. It was fun, fast-paced, and absolutely exhausting (in the best way!) for both us and our dogs. I walked away feeling proud, connected, and genuinely excited for what’s next.KPA gave me tools, confidence, and a deeper understanding of training—and I’m grateful for every step of the journey.
