“Changing my career has been a huge decision for me and one that has not been easy. With no previous experience working with animals, I decided to take the Beginner Dog Handling course to better my skills and it’s been a god send. I can honestly say the amazing staff at Dogtopia, especially the educator Mersey, has been nothing short of phenomenal. With no prior experience and a huge question of “am I making the right decision” I can confidently say the Beginner Dog Handling course was well worth it, and will be actively seeking to complete any further courses available in the near future.” – Neil G
