Frequently asked questions
Buyer guides tell people to choose a responsible breeder who stays a resource after go-home day. Petcademy helps you be that resource without becoming a round-the-clock help line: expert trainers answer your families' everyday training and behavior questions by text and email, while you stay their go-to for breed and health questions.
No. You stay their breeder, and their go-to for breed, health guarantee, and contract questions. Our trainers take everyday training and behavior questions, and medical questions go to the family's vet.
Everyday training and behavior: house training, crate training, mouthing and teething, settling at night, leash manners, litter box habits, scratching, and meeting other pets. Every reply comes from a certified, positive reinforcement trainer, and replies arrive within 12 hours on weekdays and 24 on weekends.
Yes. You can include Petcademy in your puppy or kitten pack, your sales agreement, or your welcome email, so families have it from go-home day. You can also offer our AI trainer on your website or by QR code, to help more families for less. We'll walk you through the options when you book a demo.

You can offer Petcademy access for whatever period works best for your program. We recommend covering the first year to support families as their puppies or kittens grow and develop. We also recommend including the cost in the purchase price of the animal, so every family receives support from day one. Pricing is custom, built around your program, so book a demo to get a custom quote. Afterward, families can continue with a membership of their own.
Positive reinforcement only, with no aversive methods or tools, ever. Every Petcademy trainer holds a professional certification, such as SFTD-CTP, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, FFCP, or KPA-CTP, so your program's name is in safe hands. Meet our team.
