This was an excellent 2-day course and has given me the confidence as well as vital information needed to start my own dog walking business. Christine is a fantastic tutor, friendly and approachable - and, of course, highly knowledgeable on her subject. Her dogs were a real pleasure to be around, adding another dimension to the course. Thank you again and your lovely staff member - Kay.
A BRILLIANT course for a professional dog walker. Christine was professional and engaging and so were her assistants Kendra and Eddie. I learned more than I would have hoped.
Thank you very much,

Thank you Christine for the 2 days course. It has been very helpful and informative. Christine is lovely, friendly, and patient. She explained everything well and was happy to answer any questions you have. The dogs (course dogs) are sweet and well-behaved, their presence made the course more fun and enjoyable 🙂 Overall, I've learned a lot from this course. Will recommend anyone who's looking to be a dog walker to do this course.
Thank you,
Wing

"This has been comprehensive despite just taking two days. I have learnt a whole lot about laws and regulations surrounding dog walking and transport, including forms that a professional dog walker must provide and be provided with a client. Possible risks and dangers to clients and dogs when walking and precautions to be taken as well as how to bandage a leg and a tail properly.
We learnt all about the different appearances and temperaments of different breeds, and much more! What I most enjoyed was the practical part of attaching a harness and a lead to a dog and taking her for a short walk. I have been provided with feedback for all parts of the course and have been told how I should give more vocal commands to ensure the dog stays by my side during the walk."

Just wanted to say this was absolutely brilliant for a newbie to dog walking as well as someone like myself that has been doing this over 10 years! Very educational! I learnt things I never even thought about. Great to be brought up to date with new laws and regulations! Will help you to make your business even more successful. Tutors are fantastic, happy, fun and patient! Money well spent! Looking forward to my next course! Thank you absolutely animals for helping me feel comfortable (I have dyslexia and can feel out of place in a classroom like an environment and in role play) not once did I feel embarrassed or out of place!
Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Informative and very detailed but taught in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with an excellent and encouraging tutor. Highly recommended, an essential qualification for any professional dog walkers/carers. Thank you Absolutely Animals
This was a great course, I loved the practical parts and learning all the different aspects of dog walking
"This letter certifies that I have known Ms Anderton and her family for many years and have always found her to be a thoroughly reliable and very capable person. She most certainly has the ability and sense needed for setting up her own business and exercising her very useful skills as a groomer. Her work is always first class, and her ability at handling difficult animals is not short of remarkable. I am sure she will well repay any effort put into training her in business methods, and I am happy to be recommending her to my bankers as a sound prospect for them to back. On the practical side, we are able at this surgery to provide a good number of recommendations of her skill to our own clients, safe in the knowledge that they will be pleased with her work. This clinic will give her all the backing we can, and she will surely find her work well appreciated by others as well."
