Have you ever wondered how to change a cue? You may need to change a cue for various reasons, including to clarify a cue or to make the cue more versatile. Two cues may be too similar; your dog may confuse “stretch” and “fetch,” for example. Or you may need to deliver a cue from a distance. In these and other circumstances, knowing how to transfer a cue efficiently is important.

CTP of the Month: Catherine Ricchetti
|
|
|
|
As a mental health professional, Catherine Ricchetti, KPA CTP, was already working with dogs as she built and implemented facility-dog programs. While she had credentialed social worker skills and experience planning and developing programs, she felt that her dog training skills were insufficient for her needs. When Catherine discovered Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) and learned that its core philosophy was positive training, a philosophy that mirrored her own, she knew she had found what she calls “a perfect match.”
