OUR COMMITMENT TO INCLUSION<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Karen Pryor Clicker Training is committed to conversation, education, and steps that lead to greater understanding and that can make the profession more inclusive. We believe diversity is a source of strength, equity is worth pursuing, inclusive practices foster progress, women's and LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, individual control over our outcomes is fundamental, and kindness reflects true character.<\/p>\n

We reaffirm our commitment to fostering inclusivity in training and behavior. In 2025, we have expanded our scholarship opportunities for those who represent and\/or support underserved and underrepresented communities. In the weeks, months, and years ahead, we will continue to evaluate and explore ways to further support our principles through our various platforms and brands.<\/p>\n
