Program Description

Trainers teach animals a variety of skills, such as obedience, security, and assistance with disabilities, as well as familiarizing animals with human voices and contact, and teaching animals to respond to commands.  Some students will decide to operate kennels for boarding or doggie day care, offering basic vet care and grooming. Students will gain the knowledge needed in the entrepreneurial sense to be able to own and/or operate their own training or kennel business.
