Very useful information, good to refresh but also learn new information, as diet fashions can change rapidly. Also how diets can effect behavioural issues. Very interesting.
it was good to have my own knowledge affirmed. The presentation was clear and concise, not presuming a particular level of knowledge already present in the viewing person. The content was full, interesting and very usable. I felt it very helpful that there was not a lot of technical jargon and where certain words were used – they were explained in a clear way. Enjoyed this very much.
The course is organised well and is easy to follow at your own pace.
Great course! As a student vet nurse looking to get more information on nutrition to use in practice, I really enjoyed this course. Content was informative and easy to follow. Would highly recommend.
This course has a great deal of knowledge and facts / tips not only about the signs of behaviour to look out for what what is also beneficial to your dog. As a dog owner I found this insightful and easy to understand and will use the new knowledge to implement and changes to improve my dogs quality of life.
Found this course really informative and well presented, just started myself as a dog trainer and have already discovered the effects nutrition has on the behaviours of the dogs that I am currently supporting.
Found the information regarding the the constitution of the diet really interesting and course content on this was really easy to understand rather then sometimes when reading about dog nutrition it can all appear a bit confusing.
Thank you Caroline, will be back soon for the Canine First Aid Course
The layout of the course was easy to follow and informative. I particularly liked the section on natural calming agents these will help me with my own dogs and clients dogs. I would recommend this course as a starting block for professionals and for owners.
Fantastic webinar; there’s so much I didn’t really understand about what I’m putting into my guest dogs, and it’s so good to have that knowledge; I want to know exactly what I’m feeding my guest dogs, and the details of what their needs are, just as much as if they were my own dogs.
As always with Caroline’s superb courses and webinars, it’s easy to just do a few minutes here and there, as time allows. As a home-from-home dog boarder, I’ve been booked solid with nose-to-tail guests, so being able to study in small bites has been invaluable.
Learnt good information for me to apply in practice working as a veterinary nurse
I have just completed the above course, one of several courses run by Caroline,I I have been fortunate to study. The course content is full, informative, interesting, with a great layout and the instruction videos are really helpful. All Pet Education courses are ideal for anyone one who wants to learn for professional or personal use and you leave the course full of so much valuable knowledge. I always enjoy learning and this course was no exception, I would recommend this course and any other courses here, well worth studying as it’s skills and knowledge for life. Practical and expert advise from a training programme and teacher you can trust. You can learn at your own pace, so there is never any pressure, learning in your own time, to me is the best way to fully absorb information, take it all in and more importantly keep it!
Thank you for yet another wonderful course… I shall be enrolling in my next one soon. Katie Reynolds.
This course provided a great overview of nutrition for all life stages of dogs. The right length of course to get started and get all the basics, and then some, ready to delve further.
This course was packed with essential information and delivered in bite sized chunks so it was easy to process. I would recommend this course to anyone who owns or even works with dogs.
