Kimmie Harlow, KPA CTP, provides private dog training in Rockville, Maryland. She has a special interest in helping families where canine behavior issues are obstacles to a serene home life. Kimmie heard about the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) Dog Trainer Professional (DTP) program from Beth Mullen, KPA CTP, when they worked together at a local animal shelter. "As an open-admission shelter, we saw quite a range of behaviors and animals daily. Almost immediately, I was interested in learning more about behavior," remembers Kimmie.
It was at the shelter that Kimmie first experienced clicker training. Soon "hooked" on the clicker, Kimmie was anxious to know more. "Beth encouraged me to look into the KPA Dog Trainer Professional program, and I've never looked back," she says.
Under the direction of Laurie Luck, Kimmie completed the DTP program in Richmond, Virginia, in 2014. She describes the course as "one of the most useful and challenging experiences I've ever had." The challenges, and ultimate success, Kimmie had were all tied to her program partner, her fearful dog Nicky.
