What’s Waggin’
A note from Brian Coyne, CEO
If you’ve visited animalbehaviorcollege.com lately, you’ve noticed it looks different. Our redesigned site is live. The goal was simple: make it easier to find what you’re looking for and easier to understand what each of our programs actually involves before you commit to one. Program pages are clearer, navigation is faster, and the whole thing behaves the way a modern site should.
Also, we have launched our new ABC learning system portal for both students and alumni. The updated changes allow for more modular content, improved interactivity, and a single sign in for users with multiple programs. If you are a student or alumni, you can login here. (If you don’t know your password for the new system, just click forgot password to get emailed a new one).
One year with Peterson’s
We’re coming up on a year since ABC joined Peterson’s, and I’ll say plainly that it has gone better than these things usually do. The teams have integrated in both directions – ABC has brought real expertise to Peterson’s, not just the other way around. What that means for you is a bigger organization behind your certification, more resources aimed at your programs, and a company that intends to keep investing here. I’m looking forward to what we build in our next phase of growth here at ABC.
Partner news
Our partner work is shifting from general discounts toward offers built specifically for ABC students and graduates.
The newest is PetKORE. Graduates will receive a promo code good for a free GroomBug with their first PetKORE website order – a small thing that makes a real difference when you’re setting up your own business. Check out the PetKORE section under the ABC Partner Community area of your alumni center for details on how to redeem your free GroomBug with the special ABC alumni promo code.
We’ve also had strong momentum with Rover and Pet First Aid 4 U, and we’re building out an affiliate program so you can benefit from recommending and using the tools you already know and trust.
Congratulations to our scholarship winners
Two students earned scholarships this cycle, and both deserve the recognition:
- Lesdi Chacon – Coastal Pet Products / Grooming Instruction Program Scholarshi
- Savannah Van Nice – Whitebridge Pet Brands / Dog Obedience Program Scholarship
Our thanks to Coastal Pet Products and Whitebridge Pet Brands. Partners who put money directly into students’ hands are partners worth celebrating, and we’re grateful for both.
The back half of the year
Now that we have migrated all systems to Peterson’s and updated courses to the new ABC Learning Management System, we will begin to ship new products and features to ABC customers and partners, including more micro-learning content, better community support, and new course offerings – stay tuned and as always, feel free to reach out with any ideas or potential partnerships.
Thanks for being part of this.
Keep wagging,
Brian Coyne
CEO, Animal Behavior College
