Real Experiences
"I would like to thank Rachel, our very dedicated teacher and recommend the Cat First Aid course at the Dog and Cat Centre. It has been 7 hours of intense training how keep our pets as safe as possible: lots of hands-on experience - though cat models are definitely better behaved than the original."

"I highly recommend the Dog Body Language course to anyone passionate about dogs, I learned a lot and I have been applying my knowledge to my observations of every dog everywhere I go! Our course presenter Nicole was super welcoming, was happy to take any questions and took us through the material at a good pace. When you consider the cost of the course goes right into the home it's a win for all. Thank you, Nicole. Thank you, EDCH."

"I attended the ITC Emergency First Aid for Dog training a couple of weeks ago and cannot recommend it enough for anyone who has a dog, is thinking of getting a dog or who works with dogs. It was so informative and well organised. I liked that there was only a small group of 8 of us and that the proceeds from the courses go towards the animals care."

"Just completed the half day body language course at Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home. Trainer very experienced and knowledgeable. Very accessible and good pace. Lots of examples in photos and videos. Good to do in person - and to hear others experiences. Has increased my knowledge and confidence - am a pet owner not a trainer. Would definitely recommend."
