Today, we honor the incredible life and legacy of Karen Pryor, a pioneer who transformed the world of animal training and left an indelible mark on our industry.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Karen Pryor’s groundbreaking work paved the way for trainers like myself, and countless others, to advocate for humane, effective training methods. While the fight for positive change would still continue, her visionary efforts undoubtedly accelerated the progress, bringing us to this better place much sooner than we might have otherwise achieved.

Karen Pryor was one of the first to show the world that animals don’t need to be trained with violence or fear. Her work with marine mammals in the 1960s, grounded in science and compassion, paved the way for positive reinforcement techniques that continue to shape the industry.

She didn’t just teach us how to train better; she taught us to see animals as sentient beings, deserving of respect, patience, and understanding.

Her book Don’t Shoot the Dog! remains a cornerstone in the field of behavioral psychology and animal training, introducing the world to the principles of operant conditioning and the power of positive reinforcement. The Karen Pryor Academy, founded in 2007, has trained thousands of professionals, ensuring her legacy endures in the hands of those committed to ethical training practices.

She laid the foundation for a movement that prioritizes trust, connection, and kindness. The positive changes we see in the industry today, our collective rejection of outdated, punitive methods, are a direct result of her fearless advocacy and unwavering belief in a better way.

Her work changed our field, but more importantly, it changed the way we connect with the animals who share our lives.

Thank you, Karen, for showing us what’s possible when science and compassion come together.

Your legacy will continue to inspire us, and we’ll strive to honor your memory by carrying your vision of compassion for animals forward. Rest in peace, and thank you for everything.

Grave Yard Groove (Mandi’s FAV!)

Wash away the funk of forty thousand years with Graveyard Groove! Fresh green leaves and the crisp bite of pear, evoking a serene midnight breeze. Rich notes of succulent plum meld with a sweet swirl of cinnamon and sugar. At the base, the warmth of sandalwood and a ghostly wisp of smoke linger, casting an unforgettable spell.

Vampire’s Kiss

Freshen up your creature of the night with this sophisticated blend of saffron, anise, eucalyptus, black currants, and absinth, rounded out by blackberries, basil, musk, tonka bean, fennel, and amber. It’s a scent with a bite, perfect for the nocturnal and daring!

Ancient Amber

Transform your pup from a mere mortal to a legend with the Ancient Amber Fragrance Mist. This enchanting blend weaves together the delicate allure of jasmine with the rich, grounding notes of sandalwood and leather. Earthy patchouli adds depth, while amber and musk create a divine, warm aura that lingers, enveloping your dog in an air of timeless elegance. With Ancient Amber, your furry friend will carry the essence of a legend, turning heads and capturing hearts wherever they go.
