"Highly recommended! As a dog industry worker, dog sports instructor and dog owner, it was very informative and useful course. It has been over 25 years since I first learned about humans and dogs. It was a meaningful time with lots of updates!!"


  "Excellent day. Ash is a natural teacher; honest, forthright and at all times himself, which allows his intense love of dogs and caring for them to come through. If you have a pet then you need to be prepared to look after them when everything goes t!ts up, to give them the best chance before you get them to the vet. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Plenty of hands-on activities to give you confidence should the need arise. Highly recommended for all dog owners."
