Easily accessible, very informative and useful for my home boarding business
i was able to learn how to read a dogs body language as well as learning about handling the dog. it was useful for future employment opportunities.
I enjoyed completing the course and found myself able to fit it in and around a schedule that best suited me
The course is great at teaching you how to approach dogs safely and handle dogs on a daily basis, it clearly tells you how to read different dogs body language and what to look out for to prevent yourself or the dog coming to any harm Great for anyone who has to work with dogs on a daily basis.
The videos was very helpful, to actually see the right and wrong way on doing things. This course will help me feel more confident in my job in kennels. Helped me understand dogs behaviour a lot more.
The content was easy to understand with different resources like photos and videos! It advised what to do but also what not to do which i found very helpful.
I would’t change anything about a course. The course is very transparent and easy to learn, it was a pleasure doing it and gaining beneficial knowledge. Very reliable and to the point. I can recommend it for everyone.
a course full of lots of information. There is a lot of readying, set some time aside
Some really helpful information and videos which clearly show the do’s and don’ts of dealing with unfamiliar dogs.
A compact course, well written and easy to understand. A good mixture of written information and videos. Will complete further courses.
helped me to better myself as a dog walker and aspiring dog trainer
such alot of information in this course, some things i knew, others i did not. great balance of subjects and depth of information
