Staying Connected. Staying Current.

At Dog Business School, we don’t just teach from a textbook. We stay actively involved in the world our students are working in.

Council regulations for dog care businesses are constantly evolving. Licensing requirements, inspection criteria, welfare standards and compliance expectations change regularly, and for anyone running or setting up a dog boarding, day care, home boarding or breeding business, falling behind isn’t just inconvenient. It can put your licence and livelihood at risk. Keeping our students ahead of that curve isn’t a nice-to-have for us. It’s a core part of what we do.

We closely monitor developments from Defra and local government authorities, ensuring everything we teach is aligned with the latest regulatory guidance. When the rules change, we update. When guidance shifts, we’re already across it. Our courses and materials are built around what councils are actually looking for, so when you walk into an inspection, you’re prepared.

We’re also genuinely part of the wider dog care community, not just observing it from the outside. Our founder Randle is an active member and administrator of Dog Care Professionals UK, the Association of Dog Boarders, and How To Be A Great Dog Pro, three of the most engaged practitioner communities in the UK. These groups exist for everyone in the industry, and being deeply involved in them means we’re constantly connected to the real questions, challenges and changes that dog care professionals are facing day to day.

Alongside these communities, our courses are delivered through Ofqual-appointed national awarding organisations AIM Qualifications and iPet Network, ensuring everything we offer meets the highest regulated standards.

The result is training that gives you not just the qualification, but the confidence to present your paperwork, satisfy your inspector, and stay ahead of an ever-changing landscape.

Professional, practical and always up to date.

Our Partners and Affiliations

The qualifications and training we offer don’t exist in a vacuum. Everything we do is underpinned by relationships with the organisations and communities that set the standards, shape the industry, and support the people working within it. From the awarding bodies that regulate and certify our courses, to the practitioner communities where real-world knowledge is shared every day, these affiliations are a fundamental part of how we ensure our training is credible, current and genuinely useful to our students.
