With so many countries banning tools of the trade, what does that look like for the US? Eric and Ted are joined by Jason Purgason, the owner of Highland Canine and the president of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). They discuss the challenges and importance of training tools in the dog training industry, as well as the legislative efforts to ban these tools. They emphasize the need for a unified voice within the industry to protect the use of training tools. Jason also shares insights into the work of the IACP and its mission to provide education, certification, member support, and legislative advocacy for canine professionals worldwide. The conversation discusses the growing trend of banning training tools like e-collars and prong collars in various countries. It highlights the need for a united voice and education to counter the misinformation spread by anti-tool groups. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of transparency with clients and the role of balanced trainers in saving dogs from euthanasia. The IACP is focused on providing education and support to trainers and pet owners, and is working towards growing its membership and promoting certification. As always a HUGE thank you to our sponsors:
