"It's a great course, very informative and I do feel like I am learning heaps, it's helped me understand the industry better and expand my existing knowledge about different dog breeds, coats, and skin conditions. It's also helping me to learn what to do and what not to do when working closely with dogs. Every dog is different and it can be a challenge" - Janet
