            I started the Animal Behavior College Classwork in August and completed towards the beginning of February. The company stated that they were very flexible with those who are working full time while attempting to complete the coursework. Since I had finished all my coursework i got placed at a grooming salon for my externship. I clearly stated I needed a salon that was open on the weekends and they placed me in one that was not. I let them know that due to their hours and my work schedule I would not have been able to get my required 8 hours a week. I stated this to them and so they removed me from that salon and informed me that they would find another mentor salon for me. It has been since end of February since they said that and I still have yet to be assigned to another grooming salon. I have emailed the program manager and my program mentor 3 times regarding this matter to which they have stated we are working on it please be patient It has been almost 5 months now. I have not been able to get my grooming career on track due to this issue. I also paid almost $4000 for this schooling. I have asked them for a list of the grooming salons in my area that they have contracts with so that I can go and check them out myself but they have yet to do that. Im running out of options here which is why I am reaching out to you all. Please let me know if you need any other information from me. Thank you!

            BLUF- Animal Behavior College maintains quality representatives, academic rigor, and clear expectations paired with a culture of kindness, friendliness, and warmth. The ******approved veterinary assistant school lets you turn your passion for helping animals into a rewarding career. I enrolled in the ********** Assistant Program at Animal Behavior College June 2024. I retired from ******************* JAN 2024 and had been searching for a ********** Assistant Program for months prior to enrolling at this school. I requested information and within 24 hours I received an email from a very friendly representative that answered all of my questions and sent additional information on the school's curriculum, details about the program itself, and payment options. After enrollment, I was immediately assigned a program manager. She contacted me to ensure I understood the curriculum, and requirements for completion. The curriculum was recently updated and revamped. You complete nine online programs and a mandatory PET CPR certification. After completion, Animal Behavior College pairs you with a ********** clinic in your area for your Externship allowing you the opportunity to receive real-world experience. The ********** Assistant Program is designed to prepare you for a career working with animals, everything from exam room prep and surgical procedure to small animal health care.
