This award is for the best video showcasing a specific training topic chosen for each year.
The award honors work to further the enhancement of the human-canine bond and the importance of the relationship with dogs in our lives.
These awards recognize shelter staff and shelter volunteers who are committed to using positive training methods to improve the chances of adoption for the dogs on their care. |
This award honors both John Fisher and the work of writers whom we think he would have enjoyed reading.
This award is for an APDT Member who exemplifies the APDT spirit through training of dogs, as demonstrated by meeting a variety of requirements set forth by the Awards Committee. |
One of our membership benefits is the privilege of posting seminar/event information free of charge on this Web site.
