We all talk about enrichment and what it means to our pets’ lives and welfare. But have we taken the time to consider what enrichment really is and how we can best utilize it across our other pet training and care services?  DogNostics launched a certification program three years ago titled Canine Enrichment Technician, and it has proven to fulfil a great need in the marketplace. Hundreds of pet professionals have taken and certified from this program and continue to communicate with us how the program has positively impacted their customers and their pets.

Come and join us for a 1.5-hour webinar on how you, too, can gain a greater understanding of enrichment and how you can successfully implement it into your current services or build new services for your local clients. Upon completing the webinar, interested registrants will receive a $20.00 Coupon to register for the full certification program.  The Canine Enrichment Technician Program can be found here
