Pros

Had some good times working with great employees and friends.

Cons

I was so embarrassed working at Animal Behavior College since most of the students we worked with won’t succeed. The school doesn’t support the students and the school’s own data proves it. At the bottom of almost every page on their website in blue is this link: Click here to view Animal Behavior College’s Annual Reports. This is required annual data that the school needs to make public. Click on it and read it. Skip section 1 and go to section 2 to see the program data. You can see some of the worst data about the students. Most of the students aren’t passing or graduating – See Completion Rate for each program: Dog Trainer 22%, Veterinary Assistant 19%, Grooming 38%. Most are failing out! Even worse is the amount of money the students who do pass make. No one makes good money, most make very little. Working at a fast food restaurant is probably about the same amount without spending thousands to attend. You can learn much of the things at Animal Behavior College on your own for free. Animal Behavior College makes all these promises about graduating and making money but the truth is it’s not true and it’s a costly mistake. Don’t attend this scam school. They just want your money. I was tired of all the lies and backstabbing working there. Avoid working here too. You will regret it.

Thank you for your valued feedback. We regret to hear that you were dissatisfied with your employment at Animal Behavior College, aside from enjoying your coworkers. ABC prides itself on offering valuable schooling to its students and offering support at all stages to provide the best chances for their success. Based on our data, a great many people do succeed here. Our dog trainer graduate group numbers over 17,000 and is the largest group of certified pet dog trainers in North America. We also have thousands of certified veterinary assistants and groomers working in their chosen professions in all 50 states and every Canadian Province. Granted, not all students who enroll in our programs graduate, but what legitimate school can claim otherwise? As an educational institution, we do everything in our power to assist students in realizing their potential and achieving their goals. We wish you the best in your future pursuits.

Pros

Animal Behavior College is made up of dedicated employees who are truly passionate about their workplace, animals and students. My experience working for the company has been very positive. I started in an assistant position and have been promoted to the management team, along with having received raises for my work ethic and increased responsibilities. In both positions I have been entrusted with important tasks and have been able to grow myself and my experiences in the workplace. ABC has amazing and dedicated people working for the company and it really does feel like a family when I arrive at work. I feel like I can share my ideas and opinions without risk with management and others at the company, as new ideas are encouraged in the workplace. At ABC everyone is working towards helping our students succeed in their pet industry education, and people take pride in the accomplishments of our students and graduates. I am very grateful for the opportunities ABC has given me and the friends I have made at the company.

Cons

I have little to say that is negative regarding my experiences at Animal Behavior College. Overall, I have greatly enjoyed my time with the company. All companies have pros and cons, but the company culture and the positive work that ABC does largely outweighs any negative aspects that may arise.
