Time is Running Out to Apply for These Dog Trainer Professional Locations! | | | Helping Dogs Overcome the Fear of Objects | | | Is your dog afraid of ordinary objects? Does he freeze or try to run away when he sees a bag blowing in the wind? Does he bark or growl at cardboard boxes, ladders, or brooms? There are many reasons why dogs may be fearful of certain objects, including exposure to something scary during the developmental period, lack of early socialization, or even a negative experience with the object (perhaps the broom or ladder tipped over and startled the dog). Fortunately, you can help put your dog at ease by creating positive associations with objects that he may fear.

| | | March 2020 KPA CTP of the Month
| | Will Brunz, KPA CTP, owns and runs Columbia Mountain Kennels (CMK) along with his wife, Andrea. Now a positive-only trainer, dog-sport competitor, and pet owner, for many years he was an aversive trainer. Will's wife Andrea launched him on the clicker training path by opting for that sort of training with her new puppy. Initially, Will scoffed, believing that positive training would not work consistently with high-drive working dogs. It was while he was researching for information to support his anti-positive-training position that Will first heard about Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) and the Dog Trainer Professional (DTP) program. "The more I tried to prove her [Andrea] wrong, the more I knew that it was me who was misinformed," remembers Will.
