Also animal behaviour opens doors for other career options that are still centered around animals if not dogs in specific.

A vet tech is the person who sets up for surgeries, takes care of recoverying pets, does the sanitation, MAY do the simple stuff like vaccines, health checks, etc. BAsically they are 2years of university short of being a veterinarian. They have all the basic knowledge of a vet, just can't do the intense stuff like surgeries, diagnosis, etc.
Ok..so, do most universities offer the animal behaviour thing?
Would the K-9 Learning Center be good to do with the other or just the animal behaviour alone?.....
I think it sounds a lot more fitting for me cuz I almost faint whenever I get a shot and I can't even watch when the vet gives my dogs a shot....
