The Kennel Technician course is broken into two individual 8-hour classes and is designed for individuals currently working in or seeking to work in animal care roles within shelters, kennels, or similar environments.  The goal of this course is to prepare you for working in any private or governmentally owned animal care facility.

 

Basic Kennel Technician

The Basic Kennel Technician class is an introductory class designed to prepare individuals for safe, effective work in animal care settings like shelters, kennels, and veterinary clinics. This class focuses on building a strong foundation in animal behavior, handling, sanitation, and daily care, while also introducing the importance of customer service and teamwork. It's perfect for those just starting out or looking to strengthen their core skills.

 

Advanced Kennel Technician

The Advanced Kennel Technician class is a training for those with foundational animal care knowledge who are ready to take the next step. This class goes deeper into age- and species-specific care, disease prevention, and teamwork, helping participants provide higher-level care and contribute to a healthier, more efficient shelter environment. It’s ideal for kennel staff looking to expand their knowledge and grow in their role.
