Why TIP Is A Strong Fit For CAPDT Members
Real coverage. Real flexibility. Real inclusion.
The Industry Plan (TIP) was built for how today’s dog trainers and animal professionals work — flexible, portable coverage that supports independent trainers, behaviour specialists, and CAPDT members across Canada. Whether working full-time, part-time, running your own training business, or working with clients in different locations, TIP aligns with the realities of building a career in the dog training industry.
Here's Why It's Different
Finally - health coverage that fits how you work, not where you work.
Simple Enrollment
CAPDT members, under age 65, can access coverage with no medical questions and no exclusions for pre-existing conditions during open enrollment. Simple, straightforward protection when you need it.
Portable & Flexible
Whether you’re running your own training business, working one-on-one with clients, or offering group classes, your coverage moves with you - across clients, locations, and career stages.
Inclusive by Design
TIP is built for how dog trainers actually work - independent, flexible, and often without access to traditional benefits. It supports full-time, part-time, and self-employed professionals alike.
Canadian Partners
Backed by Wawanesa Life, administered by Simply Benefits, and supported by trusted health partners like PocketPills, Rexall, and Dialogue - all in one streamlined platform.
Easy, Digital Access
From claims to prescriptions to mental health support - everything is handled digitally in one place. No paperwork, no complexity - just coverage that works.
Together, We’re Building a Better System
Built for how dog trainers actually work.
For too long, traditional benefits have been built around outdated models - nine-to-five roles, single employers, and those already covered. That approach doesn’t reflect the reality for many dog trainers and animal professionals today.
The Industry Plan (TIP) and CAPDT are working to support a better path forward - one that reflects the independence and flexibility of the dog training industry. Whether you’re running your own training business, working with clients in-home or outdoors, offering group classes, or growing your client base over time, your coverage should move with you and support your lifestyle.
Because coverage shouldn’t depend on how you’re employed - it should support how you work.
Enrollment Made Simple
Flexible coverage designed for CAPDT members — built to support the way you work.
Right now, CAPDT members can join The Industry Plan (TIP) during open enrollment — available until June 30, 2026 — with no medical questions required to apply.
After that, open enrollment returns annually from April 1 to June 30, giving members multiple opportunities each year to access coverage.
New CAPDT members also have a 90-day window from the date they join to enroll, making it easier to secure coverage as they begin or grow their careers.
