Fantastic webinar introducing ten top tips to help reduce pet anxiety. This is the 2nd course I’ve completed with petcourses.co.Uk and I love the bite size layout. Sometimes an hour long CPD seems daunting and requires full attention for this time, when modern life doesn’t always allow a full hour with no interruptions. The course content was great, giving further reading and suggestions to contemplate for the anxious pet. Thank you! ☺️

Very useful information and clearly delivered. Brilliant introduction to the topic, can’t wait to learn more from this website!

This course is a great place to start learning about pet anxiety or brushing up your knowledge. I have gone onto the Advanced course as I enjoyed this one so much and wanted more detail to help me going forward in my career. Amazing support throughout!

Another great seminar, that in such little time, I learned things I didn’t know about, or things I knew the wrong way.
I am definately going to take a lot more courses! You are the best!!

I have a major problem with anxiety stress tension amongst my 4 cats and had almost exhausted all ideas. But this course has give me a few more ideas and extra info to try out for which I’m grateful. Presentation was good, easy to follow, interesting and kept my attention

Easy to follow, good content, I will definitely look at doing some of the other available course!

The course was well delivered, it was clear and easy to understand and follow I enjoyed this course and will be taking more of these courses in the very near future

As an owner of a very anxious rescue dog I have found this course a very useful and informative introductory guide as to how to manage her and the situations that she finds difficult. Thank you.

This course taught me so much about Dog and Cat behaviour. Very clear and informative, well structured. Can’t wait to apply my knowledge in my own home!

Excellent introduction to this topic, especially if you volunteer at an animal shelter. The topics are clear, offer no nonsense information, and offer handy hints and tips narrated by the soothing Caroline Clark.. There are downloads that expand the topics and websites links to expand your knowledge further. Pleasant way to learn, most enjoyable.

I found this course covered, in easy-to-learn modules, a well defined introduction to cat and dog anxiety and stress. Caroline’s narration of the power points is excellent and has many examples which are very helpful. I plan on taking the next level of courses.




I found it interesting and useful. Nicely presented and easy to follow and to understand. Thank you for the oportunity.
