The Academy of Pet Careers has published an objective comparison of two online dog training certification programs: its own and CATCH Canine Trainers Academy of New Jersey.
The article, &ldquo;CATCH vs APC: A Side-by-Side Comparison of Online Dog Training Programs,&rdquo; looks at how the two schools compare on tuition, program structure, mentorship, credentials, refund policies, and more, using information published by each school.
Among the findings:
<ul>
<li>Both programs are online, self-paced, force-free, and licensed by their respective states, and both take about a year to complete.</li>
<li>CATCH offers four program levels, with tuition from $1,529 to $7,469. The Academy of Pet Careers offers one program, with tuition from $4,000 to $6,000.</li>
<li>Mentorship is included in the Academy&rsquo;s program. At CATCH, it is offered only in upper-level programs and is optional.</li>
<li>The Academy offers a 30-day window to withdraw for a full tuition refund, compared with three business days at CATCH.</li>
</ul>
The article states that there is no &ldquo;winner&rdquo; and that the right choice depends on a student&rsquo;s budget, schedule, and learning style. It also includes a checklist of questions for evaluating any online training school, including licensing, graduation and job placement rates, and instructor qualifications.

The Academy of Pet Careers, a St. Charles school offering dog training, dog grooming, and veterinary assistant programs, has published a new guide for people interested in becoming professional dog trainers.
The article, &ldquo;What is the CCPDT?&rdquo;, explains the work of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, the leading certifying body for dog trainers in the U.S. The council was created by 26 animal professionals and has been certifying trainers since 2001.
The guide covers the council&rsquo;s three credentials:
<ul>
<li>CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed): the foundation-level credential and the most popular of the three.&nbsp;</li>
<li>CPDT-KSA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge and Skills Assessed): a skills assessment submitted by video and evaluated by subject matter experts. It is the least expensive credential.</li>
<li>CBCC-KA (Certified Behavior Consultant Canine-Knowledge Assessed): an advanced credential for trainers who specialize in complex behavioral issues. It is the rarest of the three.</li>
</ul>
The guide also covers eligibility requirements, renewal, and the ethics standards that every candidate must agree to follow. The article notes that the CCPDT offers credentialing, not training, so aspiring trainers should complete an educational program for hands-on experience before taking the exams.

The Academy of Pet Careers has published a new online guide for residents interested in becoming a veterinary assistant.
The guide, titled &ldquo;How to Become a Vet Assistant: Complete Career Guide,&rdquo; walks readers through what the job involves, what it takes to get started, and what to expect from training and pay. Veterinary assistants support clinic teams by helping with exams, assisting in surgery, caring for animals, and communicating with pet owners.
The path into the field is much more accessible than other veterinary professions. Candidates need a high school diploma or GED and must be at least 18. Veterinary assistants are not required to be licensed, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 9% job growth in the field. The guide also compares certification programs with on-the-job training and offers tips on choosing a program.

Whether you&rsquo;re just starting out or looking for a career change, this guide is a helpful resource for any aspiring veterinary assistants.
The full guide is available for free at <a href="https://www.theacademyofpetcareers.com/blog/how-to-become-a-vet-assistant/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.theacademyofpetcareers.com/blog/how-to-become-a-vet-assistant/</a>.
