I have just completed & passed the final exam for the Narps UK dog walking business course! Wahoo! 

I have just started up my own dog walking business and wanted to say that the info & resources that I have been able to have access because of being a member of Narps has helped me a lot.

The course modules were clear, concise, informative & fun! I even enjoyed taking the end of module tests & also used them again for revising for the final exam. I was very nervous taking the final exam but revised thoroughly using the modules which of course has paid off.

Thank you Narps for a thoroughly informative course.

(6) What would you say to a pet lover who runs or wants to start their own pet sitting or dog walking business and is thinking of taking this course?This course is so informative. I am a pet lover who two dogs aged 11 and 7 one of whom has bowel disease. I thought I knew quite a lot already about dogs and pets but this course has broadened my horizons and set me in a good stance for setting up my own Dog Walking Business this year. Really good value for money and enjoyable too. I couldn't stop working through the modules and finished in just over three weeks as I enjoyed it so much.

My advice would be - Just do it, It will give you a good understanding of the business of dog walking and pet sitting and it will also give you the confidence to go and start your own business.

Douglas Cocks, Olton Dog Walking & Dog Training, Solihull.

 

Very good course, I would recommend it to would be pet sitters and dog walkers, good value for money - It highlights the legalities and responsibilities involved in running a pet business. Eye opening to the fact that being a pet lover is only one aspect to consider when deciding to pursue this as a career.

"I have just completed the 4th module and have found the course clear and well presented(I could live without the talking dog though!) The first three modules were informative, although I think very much 'revision' for anyone who have already been through the process of setting up in pet services. However, I found the 4th module really helpful and thought provoking, especially the section on branding, and I am really looking forward to module 5 which looks at the ethical side of providing pet services. My intention is to complete the course fairly quickly. I think the way the course is designed you could tackle it at any speed, and could work through it at a reasonable pace even if you only had half an hour to give to it every couple of days. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those involved in setting up the course which has been well conceived and is very user friendly. I really like features like the post it notes and the resources link. I would encourage anyone who is uncertain to give it a go."

The course was well structered and, as a newcomber to the industry, was very informative on all subjects on both the business side and animal welfare. On the whole what i have learnt through taking the course will be of considerable benefit to my business and the service i am able to provide to clients.

I think the course is very good as it stands. Even though I have been in business for over a year I have learnt a lot from the course - the early modules acted as a good revision exercise and confirmed that legally and professionally I was doing everything necessary. Thoroughly enjoyed it ... thank you

I found the course very easy to follow and extremely useful in checking my existing knowledge and highlighting a few gaps. I've already recommended it to others and would be very interested in any further courses offered by Narps UK. I especially appreciated the modular structure as it enabled me to take the course at a pace that fitted around my work schedule. 
 Best wishes,

When I was searching around for pet sitting courses I wasn't sure what spacific learning elements I wanted from a course - I choose the NarpsUK one because Narps has an outstanding reputation within the pet sitting industy - they never let me down. I have learned so much from taking the course from setting up my business to transporting dogs. I also feel that having the course emblem on my website and the certificate in my folder gives me an advantage over other local pet sitters who have not taken a training course - so thank you very much for producing such a great package.

A good course on the whole, particularly the latter parts. I particularly liked the First Aid section and would like to learn more on this subject.
