Hi. I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing what they know about training classes. I have been training my puppy using books and a video. He is very smart and learns very quickly. I am interested in training classes, but if they just teach the same things he has already been learning, they wouldn’t be very useful. Thanks in advance!

Not only do they offer socialization, but they also know several different methods. So, if you hit a roadblock, the trainer can help you get around it.

Your dog will learn how to handle distractions, which are hard to get when you’re training at home.

Your obedience training school will also have information on other programs you might be interested in, whether it’s agility, freestyle, search & rescue, therapy dogs, etc.

You might also be surprised at how many human friends you walk away with as well!

If parapsychology is a serious field, I assume that there are some well known universities out there and some well known professors, that you can get training from.
I know I have seen little diploma mill ads in the back of magazines, advertising their correspondence courses, but I am talking about real scientific training, and real scientists.
I assume you would need training in psychology, physics, scientific methods, technology and many other areas. And not be biased in doing your investigating, as it seems many are.
It seems that there are not many really scientifically trained individuals out there. It also seems that most already believe that all of the events are paranormal, and they are just looking for evidence to back their beliefs up, and they have already made up their minds.
So are there legitimate programs, and legitimate trained professionals out there?
Or are most just plumbers that do it on the side, and are very gullible?

There are no accredited universities in the US offering degrees in parapsychology. There are very few pracitcing parapsychologists in this country simply because, in all the years it has been studied, not once has there ever been a substantiable case of paranormal powers or activities.

But if you want to study it, look up Joe Nickell (probably the only real paranormal investigator out there who actually uses real science) and CSICOP.
