Veterinarians recognize the depth of knowledge imparted by the program. They are confident that the CTP designation indicates a quality trainer who understands the science and can work with people, including the veterinarian, for the best outcome for the dog. \n\nAs for how it has changed my life, before I became a CTP, I knew about and understood the basic tenets of clicker training. I had read Don\u2019t Shoot the Dog multiple times. However, it wasn\u2019t until I graduated from the DTP program that all those pieces fit together, and I had a deeper, more robust understanding of the underlying science.\n<\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e9246-e15 m74u-h m74u-j m74u-n m74u-o m74u-p m74u-r\"><p><strong>Q:<\/strong> Why did you decide to become a KPA faculty member and lead the Dog Trainer Professional course?<\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e9246-e16 m74u-h m74u-k m74u-m m74u-o m74u-q\"><p><span style=\"color: #fdb515; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em;\"><strong>A: <\/strong><\/span><span>I loved the program and the people involved in the program.
