Certificate in Professional Dog Walking Services ABC Award at Level 3

Are you thinking of setting up your own dog walking / pet sitting business?

Job retraining and a new business set up may involve learning a whole new skill set, therefore starting a new course can benefit you in a variety of ways. You may be undergoing retraining because you want to try something new, or perhaps you've lost your job and can't find work in the field you know. Before you embark on retraining, we can help you decide on what you want to achieve and how best to achieve it.
