I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to better their knowledge for canine behaviour. It really delves into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ reasons for behaviours. As an RVN I began seeing behaviour consultations in practice prior to this course, but only had limited training on behaviour as there are not many courses available that provide really helpful, detailed lessons. Following this course, I have had so much more confidence and capability with performing my behaviour consultations, and feel that I can really be a benefit to clients needing help. Caroline is absolutely excellent, so extremely helpful and friendly, and is a great mentor for this course.

The Pet Education & Training Advanced Certificate in Canine Fear, Anxiety & Aggression was an amazing in depth course. It has so much information on canine behaviour, socialisation and development. Along with how to assess and develop behavioural modification plans to aid the dog and owner. As well as looking at what else can be implemented from a veterinary and holistic perspective.

I would highly recommend this course, particularly for people working within a veterinary setting, working with fearful and anxious dogs on a regular basis. As it will aid your understanding of body language and subtle signs on a deeper level. The course will also be massively beneficial if your practice offers in house behavioural sessions, where you are working with dogs which are fearful and anxious when coming to the vets.

I really enjoyed completing the Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling (Feline) + Mentorship. The course gave me a much deeper understanding of feline behaviour and, importantly, encouraged me to look beyond the behaviour itself and consider the underlying emotional state, environment, early experiences and individual needs of the cat.

The sections on feline body language, stress, environmental needs and behaviour modification were particularly valuable. I found the case studies and practical application especially helpful because they encouraged me to think about how the knowledge could be applied to real-life situations rather than simply learning theory.

I also appreciated being encouraged to explore additional resources and research. This helped me become more confident in finding and interpreting evidence and thinking critically about behavioural recommendations.

The pace worked well for me alongside working, and I found that I could revisit material when I wanted to explore a subject in more depth. The mentorship aspect was also useful because it helped connect the course content with practical behaviour cases.

As a veterinary nurse, I feel the course has complemented my existing clinical knowledge and given me greater confidence when assessing feline behaviour, recognising signs of stress and discussing environmental and behavioural needs with clients. I also feel better equipped to recognise when behaviour may require further veterinary investigation or referral.

I would recommend this course to colleagues, particularly veterinary professionals or anyone wanting to develop a more structured and evidence-based understanding of feline behaviour. The combination of theory, practical case work and additional resources was what stood out most to me.
