This is what our students say
I’d like to say thank you for such an interesting and useful course!
I don’t know how you did it but you created an amazing combination of useful information, practical work and how to develop a deep understanding of the nuances of dog’s reactions — and all of this in a friendly and positive atmosphere!
It was pure enjoyment to study in such a great international team of dog-lovers and the only thing I’m sorry for that it came to an end, so im looking for the level 3 and level 4.
I want to thank all of you for such a great life-changing experience! I think studying in your school has been one of my life’s best choices.
Somebody asked me what is the most important thing I studied at level 1? At first it was hard to answer, because every lesson was so valuable for me! Then I said: “You can be just a dog owner or owner of a happy dog! To have a happy dog, a big job also has to be done, not just listening to the lessons. But life with a happy dog is worth all of that!”.
The weekends I was attending in level 2 were the most interesting, funny, challenging days with the best company. Very very huge thanks to Tanya & Elena for such a warm, helpful and wise company in our journey!
I really hope to see you all at level 3, I wish my dream will come true!
