Enrolling in this course will reveal the depth of knowledge and skills needed to understand dog psychology and training, which are essential for anyone seeking a career working with dogs. This course is perfect for those with a strong passion for dogs who are interested in starting a professional canine career.

You'll learn how to confidently communicate with dogs by understanding their thought processes and learning behaviours. You'll also delve into common behavioural problems and disorders, and develop positive training approaches to tackle them. With essential knowledge on different dog breeds, their anatomy, physiology, and brain and hormonal systems, you'll progress through each module and explore professional dog obedience training techniques such as the Koehler method, motivational training, and clicker training.

This course teaches you how to apply these techniques to correct problem behaviours such as chewing, jumping, barking, and other destructive behaviours. You'll be amazed at how much there is to learn about dog psychology and training and how crucial this knowledge is when embarking on a professional canine career. The course opens up many rewarding animal careers, such as working as a dog trainer, animal welfare specialist, pet sitter, or dog groomer.

The final assessment serves as a comprehensive evaluation of the knowledge and skills acquired in this Certificate.

The assessment consists of 40 short-answer questions. These questions aim to gauge your your ability to apply knowledge and techniques learned throughout the modules. Your responses will be submitted to the course mentor for grading and constructive feedback.

Consider the following 3 example questions:

Your dog stops barking at the school bus that drives past every morning. This is an example of what kind of non-associative learning?
The nervous system is made up of the central and peripheral nervous systems. What are each of those components made up of?
If your dog constantly whines to get your attention, what steps can you take to correct it?

This course was so informative and engaging right from the very first module, all the way until the last. I started this course with a dream to start my very own, home-based, grooming business, having never even held a pair of grooming scissors, nor even knowing what a "blade set" was. Now I am running my own small business, I can hold and use my scissors in the correct way and am confident with bathing, drying, clipping, scissoring and styling dogs. I have purchased all of my basic equipment with help from the information provided through the course and with the support of the students on the private Facebook page. I look forward to embarking on my new journey as a self-employed dog groomer and further growing and expanding my knowledge, confidence and skills as dog groomer in the future. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn how to become a dog groomer!

Heidi lee

A great company that produces amazing courses! Very informative and eye opening!

Amy

An excellent course with so much information. Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in grooming.

Trish Brown

I enjoyed this course very much. I liked that I could do it on my own time. The course taught me a lot of new things and I found it was easy to navigate through. My grades were returned to me in a quick manner as well. I was very satisfied with this course, and I'm excited to get started.

Keri-Lee Mikasko

I thoroughly recommend the bundle course. I gained more knowledge than I new about. I am running my business from home and have picked up a new client. I am confident and excited thanks to this course.

Therese Taylor

I recently had the pleasure of undertaking a grooming course that has truly been a transformative experience in my life. This course, designed to empower individuals to groom their pets with confidence, has exceeded my expectations in every way. Not only did it equip me with the skills needed to groom my own furry friends, but it also provided a safe and easygoing learning environment that has greatly helped me.

Mercedes Korab

The professional dog grooming diploma course was a wonderful course with a lot of valuable information that I look forward to continuing learning and using throughout my dog grooming career. I love that I can download the class notes and go back to look on them whenever I need a refresher! Overall, it was a great course!

naomi holt

The Dog Grooming Diploma has meant so much to me! I’ve since been employed from starting the course and am now clipping dogs! I never wanted this course to end! Such a supportive group on FB and the tutor’s were always there for me from day 1! Highly recommended this course and all it has to offer.This one truly is the best!! “ Just Do It “! You won’t be disappointed and you can start a new career out of it! ❤️❤️❤️

Sammy Wilson

Dog Grooming Diploma material was easy to read, good information on breed specific grooms, but also grooming for easy maintenance which is often requested by pet owners. It was also helpful and convenient being able to complete the course at my own pace.

Bec

Upon comparing a few similar courses, this one just stood out to me! I loved how you could read about your tutor and get to know them before beginning the course and how there was focus on being guided toward your own path in the grooming world and helping you choose what works best for you - something I didn't get from any other course. The course itself was extremely informative and the inclusion of the Facebook group really gave the sense you are apart of a community of people going through the journey with you and allows you to share ideas and achievements with others students and watch others grow their skills and businesses. Everything was well-paced, relevant and easy to understand while still being in-depth and engaging. I loved how the course focuses on learning what works best for you and teaching various options and pathways rather than teaching a straightforward procedure. I feel confident saying I've learned so much through this and have gone from someone who was anxious about picking up a pair of clippers to completing my first few grooms and excited to continue practicing and build up clients with experience!

Hollie

Unleashing a World of Possibilities with Pet Courses: An Invaluable Learning Experience" I recently took some pet courses and modules and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and depth of the content. The modules were engaging, and informative, and covered a wide range of topics related to pet care, behavior, and training. The online format made it convenient and accessible, and the interactive quizzes and hands-on activities helped me retain the information better.

Sev Sati

I learned so much while completing the dog grooming diploma. The assignments make you delve into so much valuable information.

Meagan Summers

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning dog grooming. It was very well set out and easy to follow. I gained so much knowledge from the content.

Pauline

I enjoyed doing this course, and working at your own pace was convenient. Also, when there was an issue, the response was exceptionally quick. I was also impressed with the content; I wasn't expecting such in depth coverage. There was a couple of assessment questions that were broad, and perhaps, could have been more direct to what was actually required, other than that I was happy. Let's see where this diploma takes me.

Felina Berry

Loved the dog behaviour and training course. Looking forward to doing the diploma and first aid course now. I am hoping I will gain enough experience from this to open my own dog grooming business. Highly recommend !!

Bonnie Daniel

Although an online service, the customer service was personal, excellent and fast.

Joanna Wand

This course is amazing and enjoyable! I completed my Dog Grooming Certificate, Behavioural and Training Certificate and my Pets First Aid Certificate in 2021. I was given excellent support, no question was to dumb! I now run my own Dog Grooming Business! Thankyou

Margy Ingram

excellent place really enjoyed learning here alot better than others thank you

Julie Hosking

Thank you for a thorough, in depth course on Dog Behaviour and Training. The course material was well presented and easy to follow. The assessment was thorough and time was taken to review my assessment and give feedback. Thank you so much for a great course.

Alison Jessup

Thorough self paced comprehensive online dog grooming course. There are sufficient video references to give you the confidence to start grooming on your own.

Jennifer Hocking

This course is extremely successful in teaching dog grooming online! I was looking for an online dog grooming course that didn't require sending video proof of grooming dogs and I found it in this one. This course provides in depth and up to date information on dog grooming and how to set up your own business, in a user-friendly format. It encourages you to do your own research to better yourself. I enjoyed learning with Pet Courses and in the future I am planning on purchasing their dog training course.

Chloe

Thank you for having such an inspiring course,once I started it I could not stop. Well structured, easy to understand, the videos provided really helpful. Having a mentor and a forum to go to helped me grow confidence that I could do it. Hope I can do the course justice and apply it to real life. I am working at a salon one to two days a week now and loving it,the things I have learnt from this course are all handy material I can reflect on later.

Georgia O'neill

I love how this course is set out. You can do it at your own pace and a lot of the pracs you do when you have time. It was filled with so much knowledge but didn’t overwhelm me. I felt there was so many useful tools like the business plan, dog first aid chart and pdf files you get along the way that you can refer back to which is such a bonus. I feel way more confident now starting my own dog grooming business journey. I still have a long way to go but this has been a great learning experience. I got this course half price which was great. I would have given 5 stars if I received a little welcome back or more encouragement along the way.

Lauren

I really enjoyed this course as it was so easy to follow and to understand. I am soon planning to set up a small home based dog grooming service and this course has really encouraged and boosted my confidence to do so. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

Roshna Anurag

I really enjoyed this course. It was written well and easy to understand. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in becoming a professional groomer or even just wanting to groom there own dog at home.

Sam Stopp

Because of these courses, I have gained a better understanding of dog behavior and training, which has been very beneficial to me. Being able to learn online while working has been very convenient. I hope to find relevant employment successfully after obtaining the certificate.

Fei Stockman

The course provided great learning outcomes. The assessments made you think about the industry and what you want to bring to it - not just vanilla questions. Would recommend.

Bel Holden

Excellent course! I have the bundle including behaviour and first aid. I feel so much more confident and have found many resources to help me along the way. Marking of the assignments was extremely prompt. I highly recommend this course.

Rebeca Mascarenhas Mayer Barro

Jayde Hall

Really enjoyed this course. Learnt so much along the way. I started the course at the same time i started my job working with around 50 dogs. It was excellent to learn something in the module then to see it actually happen at work. It has been a great learning experience for me.

Ms Samantha Bissett

The grooming course content was relevant, interesting and very helpful. It was easy to read and follow. I have learnt so much and highly recommend. Admin are very quick to respond to any questions.

Amanda Grant

I enjoyed the course and being able to finish in my own time. The content was good and I think I learned a lot of things that work experience alone would not teach me. Some questions on the assessment could have been more clear or direct but it was still really good.

Simone Cloake

I did not know what to expect from this course I just knew I wanted to start learning what I felt was my calling. I was unsure because I had no experience, but this course is very complete and the staff is very kind and fast (thanks Sarah for all your help!). Anyway 5/5!

Kiara

The steps to sign up, download and get going were easy to follow. Navigating through the course was straight forward. The actual course structure was very insightful and increased my kowledge considerably.

Alex

I loved the way the course is self paced so can do in your own time. The content of the course was very thorough and enjoyable. A fun & great way to help you set up for success. Looking forward to completing other modules soon.

Get up to speed quickly on Microsoft Windows 7 with this fun and easy hands-on course for beginners.

If you're new to computers, or just new to Microsoft Windows 7, this course will get you up to speed fast. In this course, you'll make the transition from helpless beginner to happy PC user.

We'll start with the absolute basics: the computer terms and skills everyone else assumes you already know. (And soon, you will know them!) Then you'll explore some fun Windows 7 features that let you personalise your screen so it suits your style and your specific needs. You'll also learn about some handy gadgets you can put on your computer desktop for work or play.

Next, you'll find out how to type and edit text so you can easily create emails or documents. You'll also learn how to save and organise your work so it's always a snap to find your files. In addition, you'll discover how to save and organise photos, fix the annoying ""red eye"" caused by flash cameras, and use basic photo editing techniques like cropping.

After that, you'll pick up some tips that will help you search the Web like an expert using the Internet Explorer web browser that comes with Windows 7. You'll also learn how to use flash drives, CDs, and DVDs, and how to protect your system against viruses and other threats.

In each lesson, you'll find fun games and practical, hands-on activities to help you master your new skills. By the time you're done, you'll know the Windows 7 operating system from top to bottom—and you'll be using it like a pro!

Courses are delivered to you through expertly executed lessons, online instruction and interaction with like-minded students. Our courses are designed to deliver all of the benefits of studying in a classroom whilst giving you the flexibility to study at a time and place to suit your needs. You can access your classroom 24/7 from any device with an internet connection.

This course has a 3 month duration. You'll complete comprehensive lessons, quizzes and assignments before submitting your final exam at the end of the course to achieve your certificate. Courses must be completed within the 3 month access period.

Learning to use your PC well starts with learning to use Windows. In this first lesson, we'll start with the basics that every computer user must know in order to use a computer with minimal frustration. If you’ve been working in “frustration and aggravation” mode for a while, this lesson will take care of that. We'll start by talking about what Windows 7 is and why you want to learn it. Then, we'll get right into the most important skills and terminology that allow you to control what you see on your screen at all times. And that's important, because the first step to using anything that's in your computer is getting it on the screen where you can see it!

In today's lesson, you'll have fun personalizing your computer by choosing your own desktop pictures, window colors, and sound scheme. Along the way, you'll learn about the important Control Panel window in Windows 7, and tips for using dialog boxes and those occasional mysterious dimmed options that do nothing when you click them. The skills you learn in this lesson will go a long way to helping you gain complete control of your computer.

Sometimes the most handy and useful things are also the easiest to learn and use. And that's certainly the case with Windows 7 desktop gadgets, sticky notes, and calculator. In this lesson, you'll learn all about these wonderfully practical and easy-to-use Windows 7 features. If you ever need to deal with dates, times, time zones, weather, currency conversions, newspaper headlines, reminders, unit conversions, or any of the other little tasks that seem to clutter most peoples' everyday lives, you're sure to find some real time-savers in this easy lesson.

No matter how you intend to use your computer, there’ll be times when there's some typing involved. It might be for writing e-mail messages, memos, or letters, or it might be for taking notes in a course, or for chatting with others in a Web site. Whatever the reason, today's lesson will teach you all the tricks for making typing (and editing) quick and easy. And you'll also discover how to save your work in files and folders, so it'll always be there when you need it!

Everything that's in your computer is stored on its hard drive. The hard drive is like a filing cabinet containing files organized into folders. Finding things you've saved in the past is a matter of opening the filing cabinet, so to speak, and then locating the correct folder. You'll use the Windows Explorer program to accomplish this. And in this lesson, you'll learn how it all works so you can start gaining complete mastery of your own files and folders.

<p>Today it's time to have some fun with photographs. In today's lesson, you'll learn to use Windows Live Photo Gallery to get pictures from a camera into your computer. You'll learn some tips for organizing those photos. And you'll also learn how to rotate pictures that are sideways, delete any awful pictures you'd rather nobody ever see, and print all your favorite photos on paper.</p> <h1></h1>

In this lesson, we'll have even more fun with photos. Today, you’ll learn how to further organize your photos by renaming them, rating them, and adding captions and tags. You’ll also learn how to search for photos with tags. And you’ll learn about Photo Gallery’s editing tools for adjusting brightness and contrast, straightening crooked pictures, correcting red eye, and cropping.

<p>The Internet is home to popular Web sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google, ed2go, and many others. I'm sure many of you have seen reference to .com sites in ads and elsewhere. If you don't have a lot of computer experience, you might find it difficult to get to the many things you hear about on the Web. But not after this lesson! Today, I'll teach you how to use Internet Explorer, the program that provides access to all of those popular Web sites.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p>

<p>Managing files and folders is one of those computer skills that every computer user needs to know. In many work and school environments, people just assume you know how to manage files, and they rarely provide any details on how to accomplish things like copying, moving, or renaming files and folders. Today's lesson will explain how to do those very things that others assume you already know how to do. </p> <p><b> </b></p>

<p>In this lesson, you'll expand your file management skills by learning how to delete and recover files. You'll learn how to select multiple files to work with so you don't always have to manage your files one at a time. And we'll discuss how to copy files to and from removable media like flash drives, CDs, and DVDs. </p> <h1></h1>

<p>Your computer is an investment of money, and the pictures and other files you store on your computer are an investment of time. You might even have some photos or other files that are so precious the thought of losing them causes you anxiety. What you need to do is protect those files. And that's just what this chapter is all about—how to use the tools and techniques that are built right into Windows to help you protect your valuable time and files!</p> <h1></h1>

<p>In our final lesson, you'll learn some more techniques for protecting your computer, including using resources for free protection from viruses and spyware. You'll learn how to remove programs you no longer want or need. You'll learn how to copy and paste text and create screenshots. And you'll discover some great timesaving tips and shortcuts, as well as resources for helping yourself so you don't have to be so dependent on others. </p> <h1></h1>
