Your officers don't need a 25-hour animal control certification course. They need the fundamentals to stay safe, make informed decisions, and handle animal-related calls confidently.

Law enforcement officers and Community Service Officers (CSOs) routinely respond to loose dogs, animal bites, injured animals, neglect complaints, and potentially dangerous dog investigations. Yet traditional law enforcement academy training often leaves a gap between what officers learn and the practical knowledge they need in the field. Companion Animal Learning bridges that gap with short, practical, on-demand modules covering animal behavior, safe handling, animal welfare, and Minnesota-specific laws and procedures.
