Join Us in Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Karen Pryor

This special collection has something for everyone—whether you're looking to learn more about her, share her message of kindness and joy, or carry on her groundbreaking work through your own training.
Karen Pryor was a pioneer in the fields of animal behavior and positive reinforcement training. Her groundbreaking work revolutionized how we communicate with animals—and each other—leaving an indelible mark on science, education, and the lives of countless species around the world.

This month would have been Karen's birthday. As we remember her life and legacy, we also honor her passing earlier this year. In January, we gathered with friends and colleagues to reflect on her extraordinary impact and her immense legacy. We were reminded that Karen saw the world with joyous wonder and encouraged us all to do the same.
