We continue to learn how to better live our values, which are reflected in our work in our local and international communities. We believe love is love, no human is illegal, Black lives matter, science is important, love is love, women’s rights are human rights, animals are individuals with an emotional experience, kindness is everything, and peace deserves a chance. The Association of Pet Dog Trainers, APDT, is the largest group of professional dog trainers in the world. Mission: To help our students feel empowered, prepared, and curious for more, resulting in happy dogs, happy families, and a legacy of empathy, kindness, and collaboration in the dog training industry. Whether you’re an animal professional or are here to help your own dog, if you care about kindness, you have a home here. Because in our minds, to love a dog is to love the dogs trainer. We are unique because we care and are always learning, just like you. We believe in the value of dog training and behavior consulting to society.

The Grisha Stewart Academy of Dog Training & Behavior is a nurturing, innovative, global online educational community that inspires sustainable behavior change.
