“I put [the program] on par with Living and Learning with Animals. The thing I love the most [is] how you have given us the tools AND [Allie] and Emily have broken your process into small steps for us to learn exactly what we should do for the owners and their animals.”

expertise you can trust
“The scope of this book is ambitious and the authors deliver. With compassion and empathy for both dogs and their caregivers, the authors navigate the subject of enrichment with depth and relevance. Caregivers of all species, including children, will gain critically important perspectives and practical information to improve the lives of those learners entrusted in their care.”

“I was worried that some information wouldn’t pertain to me or that I wouldn’t “fit in” because I’m a dog trainer and not behaviour consultant. Once the learning started I realized that this course is appropriate for anyone working with dogs and their people to address behavioural wellness.”
ROBIN
Be honest, what’s holding you back?
there isn’t a clear path forward
This is exactly why we created PETPro! There are lots of options for learning how to become a dog trainer, but for behavior consulting? Not so much. We don’t want anyone to have to take the stressful and circuitous route we took to get to where we are, so we built a program that takes you through all the skill sets required to become a competent, confident, compassionate, and ethical pet behavior consultant–from the ground up.
i don’t have time in my busy life
We can relate! That’s why we designed a program that is largely self-paced while also providing ample opportunities for interactive and community learning. Your mentor will also curate the information in the program for you so you can focus solely on what you need to learn. When you want group learning, it’s there for you. But when you need to sneak in a module here and there between other obligations, we’ve also got you covered.
i can’t find a mentor near me
No problem! In-person mentors can certainly be helpful when exploring how to become the best pet professional you can be. But this program is designed to give you the ability to get hands-on, real-world practice while working with your mentor remotely.
The best part? Your mentor will curate resources for you so you’re focused on what you need at every step of your journey, nothing more.
programs are really expensive
We can empathize with this, too! We are passionate about removing barriers and making information more equitable, accessible, and inclusive. That’s why PETPro is built on a subscription model that allows you the option to reenroll every 6 months and offer scholarships on a limited basis. Scholarship categories include hardship, BIPOC, and GDP-based. Regardless, our goal is to make your business more successful so the program should pay for itself!
about the program
Your next step is to schedule a PETPro Discovery Call. We’ll meet with you and ask about your goals to make sure that we’re the right fit from you.
If it seems like PETPro is a good fit for you, we’ll help you sign up during that call if we have spots open or get you signed up for the waitlist if spots are currently full or you need a little bit more time to think about it.
After you officially join, we’ll send you a celebration email that has some beginning info, a text from our Client Experiences Manager within the next few days, and you’ll be able to immediately access the first part of the program once your paperwork is signed.
Part of your paperwork will include an intake form. That’s where you’ll tell us about how you want to be mentored so we can pair you with the right person. Once we get that we’ll set up your onboarding call and go over everything else there!
Not at all. Enrichment was originally developed in zoos for a wide array of different species. You can apply what you learn in this course to any species you work with, though we do focus primarily on dogs in our recorded content since that applies to the majority of our members. If you work with other species we’ll help you tailor the information to your species!
This will depend on where you are in your learning journey. One of the first things we’ll talk about in this program is that the learning process is similar to how young’uns grow. They go through a growth spurt and then stop growing for a little bit in order to fill out and build muscle.
That’s likely how you’ll be going through this program. There will be periods of massive growth and content binging where you’re spending a whole lot of time with us. Then, there will be periods where you’re in the trenches implementing the things and we may not see you for a few weeks.
But, because we know how annoying the age old dog trainer answer of “it depends” can be, let’s say on average 1-3 hours a week.
We’re working on offering scholarships! Stay tuned!
about the qualifications
Nope. If you already know some training and/or behavior modification techniques and want to be able to use a pet enrichment framework with anyone you work with (i.e. volunteers, fosters, adopters, etc.) then you can benefit from this program.
Well, it depends on how you define “beginner”. This program is helpful for folks who already have tools in their toolbox as we will not be teaching you how to train animals in this program.
That does not mean that you need to currently be someone making money in a pet profession. We’ve met plenty of people who are looking to get into a pet profession who are already quite savvy trainers.
So, you can be anywhere in your career, but you need to already know how to train animals to be successful in PETPro. If you’re not sure if you fit that criteria, schedule a Discovery Call and we’ll help you figure it out. And, if that’s not yet you, come back to us when you’re ready!
We offer that, too 🙂 Our Enhanced Wellbeing Through Enrichment Mentorship Program is specifically how to do everything in PETPro but for pets with maladaptive behaviors.
PETPro is a requirement to join the Enhanced program, so if you’re specifically interested in maladaptive behaviors still sign up for a PETPro Discovery Call so we can get you started on the journey.
Nope! If you think this program will help your career then schedule a Discovery Call and let’s chat to see if this is the right option for you!
There are several different certifications out there, so the answer is going to be dependent on what certification you’re looking for. In general, even if the course content doesn’t cover everything that’s in a certification, we’ll be able to point you in the right direction for more information and help you feel confident while preparing.
We do offer a program above PETPro specifically for folks who want to work with pets with maladaptive behaviors and that program does include course content on getting certified as a behavior consultant. PETPro is a requirement to join that program.
No, this is a standalone program. Our book is full of theory, studies, and activities. But this program is all about implementation. So as long as you trust that we know what we’re talking about, you can go back at any time and read about the theory in our book.
about the sessions
Whenever you and your mentor agree on! Our mentors work different days and different hours. When you become a PETPro member, we will send you an intake form asking your preferred meeting days and times to better pair you with a mentor that works with your schedule.
Live group weekly sessions are currently scheduled for (all in Central Standard Time):
We do not recommend attending all group sessions every week! That would likely not be the best use of your time.
There will not be a session in each of these times every single week and special events may happen outside of these times.
If you’re using a Time Zone Converter, we recommend comparing your time zone to “Chicago- Illinois, USA” to account for daylight savings time.
Not a problem! Groups sessions are to help you implement and will not be teaching new content. That means that you can show up when you have questions or need help troubleshooting and won’t be missing anything if you’re not able to attend.
By getting to know you! Our mentors will talk to you, get to know you, your career, your business if you have one, and your goals. From there, they will essentially be developing a training plan on the backend to get you from point A to point B and that includes directing you to the resources you need in the order that you need them. Think about the PETPro curriculum as a library, and your mentor as the librarian pointing you in the right direction.
Yep! You will be able to post questions and get feedback on your current client cases in the PETPro forum. That means that our entire community becomes your sounding board! Please note, however, that this program is not designed for folks working with maladaptive behaviors.
You can also purchase additional coaching sessions with your mentor if you want 1-on-1 case feedback.

“I really enjoyed the format of the course – it was paced very well and I felt that I looked forward to it each week. You’ve managed to create something really special in this course where it brings a feel of community and inspiration. This course was a cup filler for me.
I’ve changed the way I work with clients to be more descriptive. In doing so, I am feeling more confident in my cases and I feel that I’m truly giving my clients the tools they need to be successful.”
