Companion Animal Career Institute

 provides animal lovers an opportunity to pursue their career dreams of working with and enriching the lives of animals OR simply to learn much more about their pets.

CACI is unique in that it is affiliated and housed with DoGone Fun, a large total care dog facility, in the south loop of Chicago. Students, therefore, have daily hands-on experience and interaction with all tyeps of breeds. Our highly experienced instructors excel in teaching not only theoretical knowledge, but in demonstrating correct skills with the dogs in our care.

Our curriculum

• Dogs & the Human Bond
• Understanding Dog Behavior
• Canine Health & Wellness
• Kennel Operations
• Multiple Grooming Programs
• Positive Reinforcement Dog Training

Your learning experience
