Caveat Emptor
The discipline of "dog training" has been plagued by trainers using titles/expressions that represent a combination of smoke blowing/obfuscation/verbal charlatanism and/or blatant lying. Be wary of trainers who use the following language:
"Dog Psychology": There is no such discipline. No university degree program exists.
"College": What college? An accredited university or community college? Dog training "colleges" do not offer a superior level of learning to any other program.
"Licensed": No dog training licensing body exists.
"Therapist": The use of this word and the people that may use it is protected by law, and only applies to certain fields, such as physical therapy.
