After 2 years of study and assessments, I'm really pleased to share that I've passed my Diploma in 'Complete Canine Care' with a Merit from the British College of Canine Studies.

Having this qualification means a lot to me. I also hope that it helps to add another level of reassure for my clients, so that when I provide a service for them, they feel confident that the care I provide is of the highest standard I can give.
​
There were 14 units which I had to pass each one before progressing onto the next covering the following:
• UNIT ONE – Early Days With Mum
• UNIT TWO – Canine Mind and Senses
• UNIT THREE – Pairing Dogs and Owners
• UNIT FOUR – Breed and Behaviour
• UNIT FIVE – Getting Introductions Right
• UNIT SIX – The Importance of Socialisation
• UNIT SEVEN – The Importance of Boundaries and Rules
• UNIT EIGHT – Health, Grooming & Nutrition
• UNIT NINE – Why Dogs Need Exercise
• UNIT TEN – Communication and Reading Body Language
• UNIT ELEVEN – Basic Training
• UNIT TWELVE – Common Problems and Issues
• UNIT THIRTEEN – Understanding Aggression
• UNIT FOURTEEN – The Influence of Human Personality

I’m taking part in 'Walkie's Together' fundraiser this September to raise funds and help save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with more than 16,500 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable.

The funds I raise will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, fund and support research into bowel cancer and support campaigns for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all. 

I've been taking part in the Bowel Cancer UK Walk Together events since they began in 2017 and with the help of friends and family have raised to date, a total of £5,672.91.

I'm very aware finances are tight for everyone, so instead of asking for sponsorship, throughout September, I'll be sponsoring every dog £5 that is walked in September via my business 'New Dawn - Cornwall'  and donate it to the Bowel Cancer UK’s Walkie's Together fundraiser.

You can follow my progress and find out more via my business Instagram or Facebook page.
