Testimonials

“This course was the best course that I ever enrolled in. There is so much knowledge and the help from the staff was amazing, staff responded right away. You can call them and email them. There are lots of different options. I felt very confident with what I was doing and receiving my certificate is something that I’m very proud of. Thank you so much to Kirsty for helping me and guiding me on my way to creating my business for dog psychology, care, and training.” - Jennylee K.


“My mentors are absolutely amazing people. They guided me through the course so smoothly and I can’t wait for the day I become a Dog Trainer, I’m sure it’s going to be a great experience learning from you. Keep up the great job you guys do, thanks 😊 again. Recommended 100%” - Pilar R.


“After adopting a dog with anxiety, I needed to learn how to look after her and so I decided to become a dog trainer. Sasha is now 80% better at handling her fear anxiety, she no longer has separation anxiety and reactivity is minimal thanks to all of the information I have learnt from the provider. I am still in the middle of my course but the information given and the assignment research for Dog Care has given me so many tools to help anxious dogs, so much that I started Power Pooches walking and training specifically for dogs with anxiety. And to date I have helped over 25 dogs learn to become calmer, to socialize and be a better dog, along with educating the owners on how to look after dogs responsibly. Along the way I needed some help with understanding a few questions and it was easy to contact my tutor support via phone or email, receiving help quickly and efficiently…” - Jake
