grad comments

There’s nothing else quite like the Academy. It remains the most enjoyable dog behavior and training course I have ever done and is of the utmost practical use to me each day. Its effectiveness is due to the brilliantly crafted course content, extensive webinar back-catalogue, the expert tuition offered by Jean and the team, and the supportive atmosphere created in the Academy Café.
The Academy maintains its commitment to graduates long after they have completed the program. I am based in the UK and graduated in 2014. I feel as supported today, as I did the day I graduated. Post-graduation support may not be at the forefront of your mind when considering a training program. However, it is a vitally important factor in your career success.
