Meet Dr. Colleen Quinn: Conference Speaker!

Inspired as a child by her beagle mix, Peanuts, and the beloved veterinary tales of James Herriot, Dr. Quinn set her sights on veterinary school at just eight years old. She attended Purdue University, completing her Veterinary Program in 1991, then began a successful career in both mixed animal and small animal practices—eventually purchasing her own clinic in Indiana in 2003.

Throughout her journey, Dr. Quinn has championed animal welfare and behavior. She’s a Fear Free and Low Stress Handling Certified veterinarian as well as a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner. In 2020, after selling her practice, she became the Veterinary Division Head for Kim Brophey’s Family Dog Mediators, a move that inspired her to open the brand-new Quinn Veterinary Clinic and Behavior Center in 2023. There, she and her team integrate medical and behavioral care to help anxious, fearful, and traumatized pets.

Join Dr. Quinn at the APDT 2025 Conference in Richmond, VA, (November 5–7) for two engaging sessions:
🐾Embracing All 4 L.E.G.S. of Pets and People to Create a New Kind of Veterinary Experience
🐾Discussing Behavior Modification with a Dog’s DVM

Don’t blame them—train them! Celebrate International Train Your Dog Month by focusing on effective, positive training methods that strengthen the bond between you and your best friend.

Remember, our canine companions thrive when given clear guidance and consistent support, which is why training should never feel like a punishment—it’s an opportunity to learn and grow together. Train Your Dog Month was launched by APDT International in 2010 and has since become a powerful movement promoting dog-friendly, science-based training techniques and responsible pet ownership.

Join the celebration, advocate for positive, professional training methods, and help spread the word: Don’t blame them—train them! Visit trainyourdogmonth.com for resources, tips, and ways to get involved this month and beyond. Together, let’s make every day a step toward happier dogs and happier families!

A big loss for the dog training world. Her contributions and legacy in the field will live on and continue to inspire the dog training world.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Karen Pryor's passing. She was a pioneer in animal training and behaviour whose contributions have shaped modern dog training as we know it. Her innovative approach and entrepreneurial spirit transformed the industry, paving the way for countless trainers and animals to benefit from science-based, positive reinforcement methods.

Karen’s work extended far beyond the Karen Pryor Academy, which has educated and inspired trainers worldwide. Her book, Don’t Shoot the Dog, introduced an entire generation of trainers to the principles of clicker training and remains a cornerstone of dog training literature. The annual Clicker Expos she founded became vital opportunities for professional growth, collaboration, and community-building within the field. Her legacy also includes Reaching the Animal Mind, a profound exploration of the science and art of animal training.

Karen’s vision, intelligence, and compassion revolutionised how we communicate with and understand our canine companions. Her contributions have had a lasting impact on the lives of trainers and the dogs they work and live with. She will be greatly missed, but her legacy will continue to inspire and guide the animal training community for generations to come.

Our thoughts are with Karen’s family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched.
