Why become a member?
Diamond members are part of the family! It's an unlimited, all-access pass to our dog training and behavior school community, with courses from dog behavior experts from around the world as well as my BAT and Ahimsa eBooks. Plus loads of other benefits and community interactions!
Only Diamond Members are eligible to apply for the CBATI-KA Assessment Process and Diamond Membership includes all CBATI-KA certification courses. Diamonds also get a free listing in our Dog Trainer’s Directory.
Dog Trainers & Behaviorists: The GSA is an Approved Education Provider for the CCPDT, and IAABC, so most courses are approved for CPDT and CCBC CEUs. Many also earn IAABC CEUs.
In 2025 we introduced more Diamonds-only content: Live Case Studies and Discussion Panels hosted by Tom Candy and videos on our monthly theme I record especially for Diamond members.
If Diamond isn’t for you, we also have a great value Library Pass available.

New dog training and behavior classes are added frequently with speakers chosen for their commitment to empowerment-based training and kindness to humans. I select instructors who are lifelong learners with information that will help professional dog trainers -- especially if I think I can learn something new from them, too!

-
No commitment! Cancel automatic renewal at any time and keep access until the end of your month. Restart whenever you want with no penalty.

This is a phenomenal value, and with our rate lock, you can count on your Diamond rate never going up (unless you cancel and restart later). Active members are ancestored into the rate from when they last started the membership, so if the rate goes up, it’s still only $39.99 or $29.99 for you.
-
Is that still too much? If you just want the on-demand version of the courses, rather than the Diamond perks like the directory access and live webinars, check out our Library Pass.
