High Praise From Our Members

Here are just a few of the many testimonials from our happy members.

Don Hanson

The Pet Professional Guild website is a great resource for me and my employees. It is an excellent place to find well-written articles to help us in our jobs, with our pets, and with our clients' and students' pets. With contacts throughout the USA, it is also the first place I look when a client, friend, or family member asks me to refer them to a pet professional in their area. It is the only source I trust.

Angel Rowe

What I enjoy most about being a member of the PPG are the amazing resources, strong membership support and most of all the strong code of ethics. I know and feel comfortable recommending PPG member trainers and behavior consultants because I know the welfare of the animal is important and the training methods utilized are ethical. It's an amazing community to be a part of and I enjoy being a member of the PPG Inclusivity Division, I think this is a small way to give back to the PPG. I have gained so much from being a PPG member. PPG membership also allows me the ability to further connect with other trainers and behavior consultants from various backgrounds both culturally and professionally. It's an honor to be a member of both.

Debbie Sheridan

I was lucky enough to hear Niki speak about her fabulous and amazing book one morning on Books Barks and Banter where I am an administrator. Before that I never knew that there was a place for folks just like me. As a behavior consultant and a family dog mediator I want to change the world for the better for our 4 legged loved ones. Here at PPG everyone feels this way. The welfare of the dog is always forefront and center. Kindness is what it is all about and not only for our dogs but for each other as well. Here at the PPG, if you jump in you will instantly find yourself among friends. The community is inclusive. We are always excited and happy to welcome kindred hearts as we raise awareness about life from the dog’s perspective, how we can educate humans to understand and advocate for their companion animals. We are doing it. I’m proud and honored to be a part of it all.

Ronda Warywoda

I just wanted to thank PPG for another webinar that hit it out of the park. We are in a fairly isolated area and these webinars are wonderfully informative ways to get different perspectives and technique adjustments for a wide variety of subjects that would otherwise not be available. And by keeping them, for the most part, at approx an hour we have time to schedule the webinars into a busy day. My dogs and cats thank you as do my clients and their dogs. I am constantly learning and expanding my horizons

Kelly Fahey

The PPG is a force free zone, all around. It's a great group composed of all force free professionals where you can come to find a professional, ask questions and receive assistance as well as participate in kind, respectful conversations. Everyone is willing to help each other. It's a community where when one succeeds, we all succeed

April Lott

I feel extremely confident that the PPG promotes the best of the pet professionals and has amazing resources for enthusiasts and professionals alike. I have hope that this will become the front running organization in the animal world

Lisa Matthews

Finally, an organization R+ trainers can be proud to be a part of and one who has no problem policing its ranks for high quality and consistency of the trainers it recommends.

Niki Tudge

PPG provides a membership organization for humane, ethical and science based professionals. Everything PPG delivers is informed by the latest and most rigorous scientific studies. We are spreading the word through numerous educational programs, annual events, position papers and legislative efforts.

Debra Millikan

To find an organization that is in step with my beliefs, ethics, and values is so refreshing. PPG’s emphasis on continuing education and working with our co-learners (the animals with whom we work) to establish a relationship with them that is beneficial to all, and to animal welfare in particular, is invaluable.

Samantha Blythe

So happy to have found PPG. Being part of a professional organization that shares my philosophy is really important to me. Love the programs and resources we haave access too. So pleased to find the credentialing also

Theresa Kolpakova, M.Ed., ABCDT, AKC-CGC

I have been receiving referrals from the San Diego Humane Society (I live in SD) after they found me listed on PPG site. ♥️ I was so excited to learn that they are searching your site for trainers having in the past had several ‘balanced’ trainers in their mix.

Thanks again for all you and the PPG team do to spread the word about positive reward and motivation and against shock and other corrective/aversive treatment touted used in the name of training.

PPG members focus on the emotional, physical and environmental welfare of pets.
