Smart Dog University

Professional training by a puppy expert

Almost Outta Time

The Frederick News Post covered the Karen Pryor Academy's flagship Dog Trainer Program that I'm offering in Columbia, MD. The course begins January 24, and registration will close in early/mid December, so if you're considering enrolling, you're quickly running up against the application deadline.

What is the KPA Dog Trainer Program? The Dog Trainer Program combines the convenience of distance learning with the power of hands-on teaching. The program unites distance learning with hands-on workshops, faculty support, as well as a close-knit community of students — all of these provide you with a well-built, solid framework to build your dog training career.

So if you're thinking about applying, go ahead and do it!

What People Are Saying

Smart Dog U really helped me deal with my first puppy and help me grow her (Etta) into a sweet little girl. Without that training from SDU this would have been a tough journey.

Ingrid Copeland

We did in-home training and group classes which helped us welcome Ember into our family. Her understanding of both dogs and busy families made the training easy and guilt-free.

Beth Schillaci

Thank goodness I discovered Smart Dog University! Laurie’s methods quickly made me realize that I was the one in need of training. The end result: A well behaved pup (Kasey) who is a true companion!

Matt Church

Laurie is someone Your Dog’s Friend depends on for good information on dog behavior and training presented in an engaging, understandable way. She has done free workshops for us; we have used her articles in our newsletter; and she is a trainer whom I can refer people to with total confidence.

Debra Ekman, Your Dog’s Friend

Laurie is a very knowledgeable and experienced trainer. She does a wonderful job with both the dog and owner. She is easily approachable and genuinely wants to make sure you and your dog are getting the most out of her classes.
