Date: October 5, 2018 — Salinas, California A professional dog trainer and animal behavior counselor called Barbara De Groodt, who is headquartered in Salinas, has been inducted into the International Hall of Fame of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). Nor did she anticipate it at any point. At the time when she was presented with the prize at the annual meeting of the International Association of Colored People in St. Petersburg, Florida, she said, “I had absolutely no clue it was coming, none whatsoever.” The members of my crew are quite good at keeping secrets. When they began talking about others (who were nominated) at the conference, and it came down to me, I thought to myself, “Oh my goodness, this isn’t good.” I was immediately concerned about the situation. I shed tears. The good news for De Groodt is that she did not have to do a speech; nevertheless, she did collect the award onstage. Subsequently, she was subjected to some friendly mocking from a friend about “Crybaby! Crybaby!” for the remainder of the upcoming night. “It is quite an honor,” she says of the award, which is given to “heroes… within the dog business who have had an effect on the world of dogs and left the dog world with a legacy that will always be remembered.” She adds this about the prize. There are times when you go through life, put in a lot of effort, and have the hope that one day you would be acknowledged by your contemporaries. I do what I do because of this reason. It means a great deal to me when John Rogerson, who is one of my main mentors, says things like this about you. In his letter of nomination to the Hall of Fame, Rogerson, who is considered to be one of the most prominent dog trainers and behaviorists in the world, as well as the founder and lecturer of the Northern Centre for Canine Behavior in the United Kingdom, wrote the following: “There are few characters in the dog world that not only inspire others but also can walk the walk where many sadly are just able to talk the talk.” I have known Barbara for more than twenty years, and throughout that time I have seen firsthand not just her capacity to work with her own dogs, but also her capacity to work with owners and other canine experts to increase their knowledge of their canine companions. Barbara devotes a significant portion of her spare time to assisting and supporting a wide variety of canine projects that are of great value. In addition, despite the vast amount of knowledge she possesses, she continues to travel extensively both domestically and internationally in order to further her own education. There is no other trainer from the United States of America that I have ever supported; Barbara is one in a million and deserves recognition on a global scale for her fantastic life and the accomplishments she has accomplished during her career. “When I read those messages, particularly the ones from my mentors, I found myself crying. I was overcome with emotion,” she added. “It was my contemporaries who put forth my name for consideration, and that had a significant influence on me. You are aware that someone is observing you. Despite the fact that De Groodt started From the Heart training and dog behavior counseling in the late 1980s, she has been dealing with dogs ever since she was a student in the preteen years. According to her, “I’ve been teaching dogs ever since I was eight or nine years old.” “The German short-haired pointers that my dad trained are German.” Throughout her career, she has been honored with a variety of accolades, such as the title of Trainer of the Year at the Westminster Dog Show in 2011, the title of Show Dog Trainer of the Year from Purina Pro Plan in 2010, and she is also a certified Pet Tech pet first aid teacher. Positive reinforcement, training to shape a dog’s behavior into a desired asset, and trust are all components of the training philosophy that is used by From the Heart. The techniques that are used at From The Heart revolve on the concept of trust; yet, trust is something that must be earned both by and from your dog. The dogs are social creatures by their very nature, and they look to humans to give them with leadership that is impartial and does not pass judgment. My promise to you is that I will make available to you the resources that you need in order to transform undesired conduct into desirable behavior. If both of you are working for the same objectives, a relationship with a dog may be a fantastic one. It is a “continuous development,” according to De Groodt, despite the fact that her training techniques are based on tried and effective ways. According to her, “I advise my kids that they should never presume that they know everything.” It is essential that you are constantly able to adapt. The process is one of ongoing change.
