I am level 3 qualified in dog breeding, litter socialisation and welfare. I work with dogs and cats mainly scanning to confirm pregnancy. I come across some very nervous dogs and explain to the owner about epigenetics and how things can be passed on to the puppies. Doing this course has be very beneficial to me as I can pass more valued information on so that mum and her puppies have the best chance of living a very confident, healthy and happy life.

I found this course incredibly valuable, particularly in how it bridges theory with real-world application. The modules on learning theory, emotional state, and behaviour analysis were especially helpful, as they provided a clear framework for understanding why dogs behave the way they do, rather than just how to “fix” things.
The content was well structured and easy to follow, with a pace that allowed time to properly absorb each topic. I appreciated how the course built progressively, reinforcing key concepts like thresholds, desensitisation, and counterconditioning. It made complex subjects feel accessible without oversimplifying them.
What stood out most was the emphasis on looking at the whole picture — including physiology, environment, and handler influence — rather than focusing solely on behaviour in isolation. This has already changed how I approach both training and problem-solving.
I run a dog care and training business, working with a range of dogs including those with behavioural challenges, and this course has given me more confidence in analysing cases and structuring effective behaviour modification plans. It has also helped me better explain behaviour to clients in a way that makes sense to them.
I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone working with dogs, or even owners who want a deeper understanding of their dog’s behaviour. It provides a solid foundation while encouraging further learning, which is essential in this field.
