Canadians currently own approximately 3.5 million dogs, according to Statistics Canada.

If you love dogs, perhaps you should consider a career working with dogs. The ICS Canada Dog Obedience Trainer/Instructor program prepares students to work with and train dogs and can lead
to a new career working for a kennel or obedience training school. You can even start your own business! Animal trainers can work with dogs by teaching pet owners the art of handling their animals, by training dogs for security or law-enforcement work, by training pets to be hired as animal actors in movies, television shows and commercials, and more.

ICS Canada graduates of the Dog Obedience/Trainer Program are eligible to sit for the NADOI (National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors) exam. With the proper experience, students may become
a full-time member of this Association.

Turn your love of animals into a profitable future. Wherever there are dogs, there is a need for dog obedience trainers and you'll have the skills for the job. Click here for more information on our Dog Obedience Trainer/Instructor program.

Employment opportunities increased in Canada as the value of the Canadian dollar grew due to free trade and investment growth. Considering the expected retirement rolls and the increase in jobs resulting from this positive economic outlook, most Canadians will benefit by additional training or upgrading of their current skills in order to become eligible for these jobs.

A résumé in and of itself may not get you that killer job, but if you blunder in composing it, you might kill any chance for an interview.

Here are some blunders, big and not so big, to avoid when putting your résumé together.

Lying about your experience.
Typos and misspellings.
Cutesy-pie layouts and stationary.
Telling too much about yourself.

Many of our current ICS Canada High School students are planning to continue their education after graduation. If you are a graduate of ICS Canada High School and have since enrolled in
a university or career school, please send along
