The Canine Studies course is Theory and Practical therefore you will learn in a classroom situation each week. You will be using your own dog or our teaching dog each week you can choose either to submit evidence via our assignments or submit all evidence through the practical side of the course there are no exams. Each course consists of between 4-7 modules. All the courses have a comprehensive reading list, which includes more professional books than can be found in the ‘high street’ shops. Whilst it should be possible to complete the course just from the course notes and your own experience, many people do wish to read around the topics in more depth. The more you put into the course, the more you will benefit.

All courses will be due to start in July 2016 more information will follow in June 2016 to enable you to plan also detail how to enrol.
