Testimonials

from our students

Puppy Life Skills

Nadia F.

The Puppy Life Skills course is a great resource for new puppy parents. It’s complete, easy to follow, and I find the Facebook Group for support is very useful. Katherine is wonderful in the instruction videos. I highly recommend it.

LIFE CHANGER

Kristiana + Charlie

The Dog Inspired nail course has been a LIFE CHANGER for my dog, Charlie. He is a reactive dog, and since having him as a puppy, has had some traumatic experiences at the groomer’s. Before this course, I couldn’t even touch his paws. Now, his tail wags when I bring out his nail file and he’s even happy when I slip on his boots, which is something that seemed impossible before. Thank you so much!

I can't believe I've been able to trim my dog's nails at home

Sharon Ku

Before taking this course, I didn't think I would ever be able to trim my dog's nails at home. This was a constant source of stress for me, because he doesn't tolerate going to the groomers, and his nails grow very quickly and are difficult to maintain with a scratch board. About a month into the course, we finally started trimming his nails by ourselves. There's still some ways to go, but without a doubt I know we can get more and more comfortable with the process. This course gave me the knowledge and confidence to implement a training plan to help my dog feel safe while getting his nails done.
