Don’t just take my word for it, here’s just a snippet of what others think about the course

Jim, works his dog as a gundog, but he was astounded at what he learned about training a dog,

as well as what he learned about training people.

‘I had a great time, it was exactly what I needed to get my confidence to the point where I can start teaching classes. Amazing what you can do in three days! Oh my god, it’s happening!! I honestly can’t thank you enough. I’ve got my mojo back.’

‘Just wanted to quickly thank you for last week’s course – I think we all had a great time and surprised ourselves with what we were able to learn and achieve in such a short time. You’re a gifted teacher, and the team and set-up you have there do you huge credit.

The content of the course was absolutely spot-on. Enough of the theory to encourage anyone who might want to research further (and some great tips on where to look), but not too much that it might put-off more practically-focused students. The hands-on work was invaluable, and the main reason I signed-up. Being given the chance to teach a class, with the reassurance of your oversight, was a great confidence booster and there was so much to learn.’

Words from Ross Andrews (now Rebeldogco)

One of the hardest things I found was having nowhere to turn in those early days when I needed support and guidance. That won’t happen to you. We are just a phone call away, anytime.

One life, one chance is all you get.

Have you heard the quote attributed to Jim Rohn, motivational speaker,

‘you become the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.’

Vital for us all in achieving our goals that we have the right support network. Here’s you’re starting point. You will be surrounded by my amazing, positive team as well as your group. You will be supported after the course to achieve your goals.
