I'm pleased to announce that I am working with Nottingham Trent University
I have received assistance from the Rural Knowledge and Enterprise Centre at Nottingham Trent University to develop a series of courses in canine behaviour. The role of Nottingham Trent University is not that of an accrediting body, but of a business development partner. This project is part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund
