I.C.P. holds Third Party Certification, meaning experts in applicable fields who do not have an invested interest in I.C.P. approve the courses. These experts include veterinarians, scientists, and psychologists.

We understand the need to have a continued income while studying. The student friendly program allows for flexibility, while the mentoring program allows professionals to accept clients while learning.

The Diploma in Canine Psychotherapy stands above any other program not only because of the advanced practices, but because the mentoring program provides hands-on guidance, allows for income generation, and ensures students have the skills and knowledge to apply Canine CBT, meet the needs of pet parents, and excel in their professional goals. The Mentoring Program is tailored to the needs of each student and is thorough, extensive, and impactful.

Advanced skills and knowledge are essential for success. It is common for our students to have recuperated the cost of courses BEFORE completing the course!

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (C.B.T.) is a scientifically proven method. Canine C.B.T. adheres to the principles and practices of C.B.T.  Our method is evidence-based, having been applied in over 10,000 case studies with outstanding results. The information provided in all I.C.P. courses are backed by science and/or statistics, research, and application.

Continued learning and advanced practices are essential to success. Our courses and programs elevate professionals above their competition, increase the services offered, and ensure continued growth. Our students are recognized as experts in their field.

“Self-paced” is NOT the same as “on-line learning”.

The modules are accessible on-line, providing flexibility, but this does NOT mean you are in an “isolated learning environment”

Our advisors are always available, whether to help with a quick questions, a zoom chat, or scheduled meetings.

Additionally, there are “open-space” webinars where students attend (not mandatory) to discuss different topics of choice, meet each other, provide motivation, and explore new avenues.

The tests and assignments can be submitted when it is convenient for the students. The response time on submissions is commonly 24-72 hours, allowing you to move forward quickly and easily.

All students are provided with a personalized advisor – another advantage that is exclusive to I.C.P. Advisors meet with students, provide feedback, guidance, and the motivation and support to get the most out of every course.

Advisors are always available - simply reach out!

For those students wanting scheduled meetings, our advisors are more than happy to set regular meetings, and, of course, communication between these meetings is always available.

In other words…. self-paced is NOT the same as on-line learning - you are never alone!

Additionally, students are encouraged to support each other through group-meets and interactive webinars scheduled regularly by ICP
