Like-minded community

Join a community of like-minded committed pet parents.  Gush about your wins, chat with other pet parents on our community boards, and see the cuteness!

Interactive Video

Behavior is all about looking at your pet's body, understanding what you see and responding appropriately.  No modality is more effective for this than interactive video learning. 

Mini-Modules

Don't have a ton of time?  We get that the speed of this world allows for only very condensed information absorption at times.  Design your precise learning goals by watching our 2-8 minute Mini-Modules.  

Product Reviews

The world is full of great and not-so-great products that can be helpful for raising a happy companion or might be a waste of money.  See our professionals dive into the individual products for the pros and cons of each.  Its like Wirecutter, for pet products.  

Self-paced Courses

Want a deeper dive into specific content?  Explore our self-paced courses on your own time, submit homeworks when you can and move along at the furious pace or slow and steady. 

Research Spotlights

When we said we were science-based, we were not kidding.  As studies get published that may be relevant or just interesting to you as a pet parent, we will provide quick reviews of the material in lay friendly terms. 

Mobile App

Computer screens are soooo 2020.  We are on the move, people!  And we need our learning content to be too.  A mini-module while on a coffee break at work?  You got it.  A product review while standing in the store and holding it in your hand? Yes, sirree!

Live Classes

Learn together, online together.  Sometimes having the live feedback and interaction is of irreplaceable value.  Join your peers as you get your learn on.  Same place, same time, each week.

Kit & Kaboodle is so fun

I want to be an amazing cat mom and Kit & Kaboodle was just what I was looking for.  Saint, my tabby, is thrilled with what we have implemented so far.
