| | Yes, You Can Train Kittens!
| | | Kittens are highly intelligent animals that, just like their canine counterparts, are capable of learning a variety of behaviors. Beginning your training as soon as you bring your kitten home will help prevent unwanted behaviors and ensure that your kitten will grow up to be a well-adjusted member of your family.

| | Set Up a Safe Training Session Outdoors
| |
Does your dog listen to you when you are at home but ignore you at the park? That's because training indoors with minimal distraction is very different from training outdoors where you are competing with a myriad of scents, sounds, and other environmental distractions. Before you take your dog out into distracting environments like the park, it's best to practice training in a quiet, safe outdoor space.

| | CTP of the Month: Miki Saito
| | More than 15 years ago, Miki attended a seminar led by Terry Ryan in Japan and was impressed by how much the dogs in the seminar enjoyed clicker training. "I saw dogs with shining eyes and wagging tails," she remembers. That seminar led Miki to explore positive-reinforcement training based on science. She found out quickly that what was called "science-based training" in Japan was not always accurately represented. When she attended courses and seminars in Japan that were advertised as science-based, Miki was often disappointed. "There were things that I questioned, especially what was taught about scientific understanding and ethics."
