Excellent course, very clear to understand. Lots of good information to take away, use at home and also has built my confidence to speak to clients who may be experiencing behavioural concerns with their dog at home.

Although we are long out of lockdown, (2024), new owners will find this invaluable.
It will make my life and others like me who Homeboard, a lot less stressful if owners put into practice these exercises.

by Kim Moody 30/05/2024

This webinar was very informative. Caroline explains how small things within the environment or how we react can make an enormous difference to a dog suffering from a separation disorder. The subtle signs to look out for and some great training downloads are included to go through in your own time before you embark on a programme of desnistisation and counter conditioning with your dog. Thank you

by Lauren Yeaman 25/05/2024

The course is easy to follow and understand as it is broken down well. This course is helpful for any pet professional and owners alike. Being a veterinary nurse, pet sitter and trainer the skills taught in this course can be applied to all of these aspects. I recommend this course to anyone looking to understand and learn how to manage separation anxiety in dogs.

by Ellena Arstein 18/05/2024

by sonia Barrufet 19/03/2024

I have done a number of courses with this company, and their courses I have done, are all well explained but also, in a easy way, as I am dyslexic and I have struggled with other courses that I have tried with companies.

by Phoebe Brooker 05/03/2024

second course i’ve done on this website and it gives you lots of great information and is easy to follow with videos!
for me, having more assessments/questions would be helpful to make it easier to retain the information
