I am located in Alberta Canada. I have been interested in working with service dogs for a very long time. Probably since I was a child. However, I just recently moved to be closer to my husbands job and therefore lost the one I was at previously and as I'm looking for a new job I'm really considering putting my efforts into working towards the goal of being involved with the training of service animals. Previously I have worked as a kennel attendant at abiut 3 different dog kennels / daycare. As well as the SPCA. And as a bather in a grooming shop. I have a ton of experience around dogs and cats and most animals really and a deep passion and love for them as well. I feel this is what drives my goal. As well as this would be really fulfilling to me because I am passionate about helping people who silently struggle. I have also seen first hand how an animal can save your life. That being said, I have no idea where to start. The more I look into it the more confused and overwhelmed I am because it's not straightforward. I'm looking on advice on where to start this journey and if there is any accreditation education for service dog training in Alberta? **I know there is a program in medicine hat unfortunately that is too far from my husbands job. Im looking for something I can do online or around the area we live which is like central Alberta.
