Judith Porter is a KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner). Her KPA-CTP number is 77155 and while dog training is not regulated in many places, the CTP number provides a “similar kind of assurance to the public as a tradesperson’s listing of publicly verifiable license number” (KPA website-Advantages of a CTP certification number). Judith also holds a certificate in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington, a certificate in Animal Shelter Management from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, a B.S. in Business Administration from Colorado Technical University, and a M.S. in Instruction Science Technology from California State University at Monterey Bay.

The dog training industry is currently unregulated. People with no education or experience can call themselves trainers or behaviorists. There are certifications available in the field of dog training and canine behavior, but none are required to provide these services. Unsuspecting people hire these types of trainers which can and do result in dogs being harmed or far worse.
