Welcome to Tromplo

Animal training isn’t about teaching animals what to do. It’s about learning how behavior works.

At Tromplo, we help animal trainers, pet owners, behavior professionals, and animal enthusiasts develop the skills that create lasting behavior change. Whether you work with dogs, horses, parrots, zoo animals, livestock, or simply want to build a better relationship with your own animal, you’ll find practical, science-based learning designed to help you succeed.

Our courses go beyond techniques and training plans. We focus on the principles that drive behavior, helping you understand not just what works, but why it works. Because when you understand the science of learning, you can apply it to any species, in any environment.

Learn through engaging lessons, video demonstrations, live events, and a supportive international community of learners who share your passion for animals and behavior.

Whether you’re taking your first steps into animal training or refining your professional skills, Tromplo gives you the knowledge, confidence, and tools to make meaningful progress.

Because great animal training starts with great learning.

Wow! I mean seriously wow! This is the second course I take with Tromplo and there will hopefully be many more to come 😀 Who even knew there was just so much to learn and to consider to make your training sessions as successful as possible and thus also more enjoyable and less frustrating for both you and your dog?!
I found both the written lectures and the videos highly informative and it was easy to implement at home and with every feedback I got for the videos I sent in my understanding and my skills as a trainer have increased. Not only that, but it was a pleasure all along and the homework sometimes was very thought provoking.
The site is very well structured and userfriendly, feedback is fast and always meticulous, with suggestions for your next session, so no matter your level you will improve.
I believe that most dog owners would benefit from this course and since you can do it anywhere anytime as long as you have an internetconnection it really is superconvenient =)

I loved this course. I had started some husbandry training before but the material in this course took it to a whole new level. I am so pleased and grateful to have been taught how to have a conversation with my dog.

Iris is extremely helpful and even devised some really successful extra training to help with getting my dog to feel more comfortable in a bike basket. She made new videos to demonstrate how to apply the exercises.

This course has improved how I relate to my dog on a daily basis. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Goodness me what a tremendous amount of expertise and knowledge generously shared with us all over the past 6 weeks!! Each aspect of care has been so well explained in stages and it lets you gauge where you are at and where you are aiming for. The feedback is very prompt and very detailed with perfect suggestions of ways in which to improve things.Pie didn’t really enjoy most aspects of husbandry care but now we have progressed in a lot of the procedures to having a very waggy tail throughout…such a joy to see!! Thanks so much Iris, we have loved sharing these weeks with you and your amazing wee dog and will definitely been keen to return for level 2 ❤️

What people say about Tromplo

Janina Gmiter
All courses were very much personalized, not glued to the topics of lessons but adjusted to us and what was very important- there is always strong emphasis for teaching the handler- to get the tools and knowledge for life- to use after 6 weeks courses. We learned a lot new useful and practical behaviors, but I also felt empowered to teach him more behaviors independently in future as well as understand and solve our problems using ABA.
Arianna Tomassoli
I wanted to try one of the courses and that was one of the best decisions ever made.. I realized that it was possible to study online because you find a lot of information, many useful videos and it is very easy to follow. The thing that made me fall in love with Tromplo is the quality of the lessons: all trainers are very talented, dogs don't show frustration behaviors, everything is clear and you really improve your knowledge.
Rachel Blackmer
I heard about Tromplo through social media before they even started classes. I was intrigued! It looked like it was all about taking skilled trainers and making them even better. If you're thinking about taking a Tromplo class, do it! The value is so good! The information is excellent, feedback is prompt, supportive, and detailed and your dog will thank you!

Can you learn animal training online?

Is this actually possible?

Absolutely.

Animal training is a practical skill, and the best place to practise is where your animals actually live and learn. Online learning allows you to apply new concepts immediately, work at your own pace and build skills in real-world situations.

Through structured lessons, video demonstrations and practical exercises, Tromplo helps you develop a deeper understanding of behaviour and training—knowledge you can apply across species and throughout your training journey.

Learn where it matters most: in everyday life.

Online learning offers practical advantages.

  • Train at your own convenience and fit study around real life.
  • Access high-quality teaching at a lower cost than repeated private sessions.
  • Pause, review and revisit details instead of relying on mental shortcuts.
  • Connect theoretical foundations with practical video examples.
  • Follow a clear, structured learning pathway.
  • Practise regularly in a familiar, non-intrusive environment.
  • Keep one year of access to the course materials.
