I enjoyed the webinar – thank you! I am happy to find a training platform and course I can trust. It was great to see a video showing the practical positive association steps for Cats and carriers. I would love to be tested in an interactive way through videos (more of a visual test). I’m eager to learn more! Thanks again 🙂

I found it all interesting and certainly gave me ideas to reduce cats when they are in my care.
Easy to understand and extremely helpful. Will help people understand their pets more.

I am the office manager for a pet behaviourist and thought this course might be helpful especially as I deal with pet behaviour enquires everyday. The course is short, precise and very helpful in my field of work. Thank you

really helpful information

by Jessica Dober 28/05/2024

Really great intro to the subject of anxiety. I undertook this introductory course as felt it would be beneficial as a dog groomer. Clear and lots to think about. Like the extra links for further research. Would recommend to others in my industry.

Good intro to pet anxiety. Learnt a lot and helps to summarise anxiety in pets

by Rachel Sutton 22/04/2021

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! ☺️

by Sharodene Naomi Mellis 08/03/2021

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

by Lucynda Hodgson 14/12/2020

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!

by MARIA MICHAILIDOU 16/09/2020

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!!
