Testimonials

"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

The courses were incredibly well-structured, offering comprehensive modules that covered everything from basic commands, the caring of dogs to the psychology of dog behaviour. The courses were clear and easy to follow, making it simple to implement the techniques within my Doggie BnB business." - Julie H.
