Times shown are UK local time. Multi-day programmes require every listed date.
Complete both Stage 1 and Stage 2 before purchasing management, then complete the management online modules and pass its assessment before attending. Bring fictional exercise and project drafts; no confidential business or personal records. All five agreed days are required. This independent programme does not award a regulated qualification or operating licence.
Explore the included online courseAttend both agreed training days with a supervisor. Demonstrations, guided practice and repeated scenarios give you time to ask questions, receive feedback and improve.
Receive individual feedback and a development plan. A practical completion certificate becomes available after the instructor confirms attendance and completion of the full agreed programme. Online progress and knowledge results remain separate from practical feedback.
30 hours of supervised teaching across 5 full days, plus 5 hours of breaks. The typical day runs from 09:00 to 16:00, including two 15-minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch break. Final timings are confirmed with your session arrangements.
All 5 dates are agreed after payment and before attendance. They may be consecutive or held on separate agreed dates. The package price covers every training day.
Each learner receives supervised practice and feedback. Activities are adjusted to the learner and dog; models, video and fictional scenarios are used whenever live practice is unsuitable.

Live-dog observation or handling takes place only with suitable dogs, appropriate consent and direct supervision. A dog’s comfort takes priority; models, video or scenarios may replace an activity. Learners never take sole responsibility for dogs. No fear, aggression or distress is deliberately created for teaching.
These are independent training experiences, not accredited qualifications, veterinary training or professional certification. Attendance and feedback do not establish competence for unsupervised work. First aid never replaces veterinary care.
