Become a Certified Dog Trainer
Join the more than 2,600 certified trainers who have been educated through the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) Dog Trainer Professional (DTP) program. KPA employs an innovative approach to cultivate and support exceptional positive reinforcement trainers, integrating online learning with personalized coaching from some of the most experienced professionals in the field.
Scholarships are currently available for the multiple 2025 DTP series, reducing tuition by $2,000.
The available scholarships will be granted based on the applicant's ability to contribute to the goals of fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion within our training community. Financial need alone is not a qualifying criterion, and applicants must reside in the USA or Canada.
Decisions on scholarship awards will be made by KPA’s internal Inclusion Committee through an evaluation of each scholarship application submission. In cases where there are more qualified applicants than available scholarships, the committee may consider the timing of acceptance into the program, assigning more weight to earlier acceptances.
Recipients who have applied for a scholarship will be notified of the award if admitted to the Dog Trainer Professional program. It's important to note that admission to the DTP program is a separate decision from the scholarship determination.
