Cat Training Program
Learn to Become a Cat Trainer
Do you have a passion for cats? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of cats and the people who love them? Are you interested in behaviour? If you answered yes to these questions perhaps our cat training program is for you. By gaining an ABC Certified Cat Trainer certification (ABCCT) you will learn and develop the necessary skills to teach cat lovers humane and effective methods for addressing unwanted feline behaviours. This includes litter box challenges, scratching furniture, spraying and more. Our curriculum also focuses on socialization, how to properly raise kittens and ways in which problem behaviours can be prevented from developing in the first place. All of this is designed to assist you in becoming a force for good in the lives of felines, which will help cats find and stay in forever homes.
Not only can cats be trained but this program will teach you how to become a cat training specialist.
