Empowering Owners & Emotional Support Animals

 At ICTI, we’re obsessed with animals and all the ways they support us. ESAs are invaluable companions who help owners stay calm, confident, and centered in day-to-day life. This course helps new and existing ESA owners succeed, so that their ESAs can reciprocate the same degree of unwavering support.
