Student Comment

I Completed the Canine care, management and training course in June 2010. This course gave me the ability and confidence to gain employment working for an animal shelter as a dog re homer. It really is my dream job and by having the knowledge and experience I gained on the course it is helping me towards a successful career with animals. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to work with dogs or if you just want to understand your canine friend a little more.

The course was even more interesting and challenging than I expected, and was a great opportunity for both myself and my dog to learn a huge amount about the canine world, build our confidence in all things 'dog', and make great friends.

A great course, equally useful for those who have experience working with dogs or pet owning canine lovers, thank you.
