12 | LUXlife Magazine he Academy of Pet Careers wholeheartedly believes in its Pet Empowerment philosophy which helps it to educate humans with care and respect, so that they can blossom alongside the animal kingdom. Joseph Schifano, Owner and President, shared: “Our Pet Empowerment philosophy is the thread that runs through everything. It shapes not just what we teach, but how we teach it. Every technique, every lesson, and every hands-on exercise is designed to deepen a student's understanding of animal behavior and welfare, not just their ability to execute a task. This produces graduates who think critically, adapt to real-world challenges, and approach their work with genuine empathy.” From dog training to grooming and veterinary assisting, The Academy of Pet Careers’ in-person certification courses, based at its St. Charles, Missouri campus, truly make a difference to people’s understanding of animals and the care they deserve. Furthermore, The Academy of Pet Careers offers online dog training for students who need quality from further afield. This allows The Academy of Pet Careers to expand its reach around the globe, and its courses provide flexibility without compromising on quality. Joseph told us: “Each program is built with input from working professionals, ensuring our curriculum evolves with industry standards and employer expectations. We are a trade school, and we embrace that identity proudly. Our students graduate with practical, day-one-ready skills developed alongside experienced instructors in real-world settings.” With student success at the forefront, The Academy of Pet Careers makes a positive impact through its dedicated attitude to personal and professional development. With fair-sized classes, so as to be able to provide the most concentrated education possible, The Academy of Pet Careers has always built trust and held itself to the highest standards of care. “At The Academy of Pet Careers, being the best isn't simply an ambition — it's a responsibility. We exist at a unique intersection of two profound commitments: the wellbeing of animals and the success of the people who dedicate their lives to caring for them. Everything we do is shaped by that dual purpose, and it's what sets us apart in the world of pet career education.” Best Pet Career Education Provider 2026 – USA & LUXlife Professional Training Excellence Award 2026 Built on a foundation of empowerment and experience, believing that animals thrive when humans around them are educated, confident, and compassionate, The Academy of Pet Careers is a stellar example of a trade school redefining what a pet professional is.
