What kind of a job market is there for training companion animals?
The market is growing rapidly. According to a US government survey of animal care and service workers, employment in the industry is forecasted to grow faster than the average of all occupations through the year 2010. This is anticipated due to the trend of increasing households owning companion animals, baby boomers filling their ‘empty nests’ with four-legged friends, and a growing number of couples opting out of childrearing, to lavish their pets with their time and affection instead.
