Who and what is the Dog Business School?<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_font_size=”20px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Back in the day, we had to learn the hard way how to start and grow our own dog business. We were frustrated trying to make sense of the requirements, the educational landscape and the limited business focussed training courses available to us. Fast forward a few years and the opportunity arose for us to design and provide timely training courses designed for today\u2019s more sophisticated professionals, with rich, relevant content delivered through a mixed and engaging blend of learning media.<\/p>\n

The Dog Business School was established to help dog lovers and aspiring and active pet care professionals whether pet sitters, dog walkers, dog groomers, home boarders, day care providers<\/a>, trainers, behaviourists or commercial care providers research, plan, to start, launch, grow and scale your businesses in a professional and ethical manner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

With increasing demand, competitive forces and a burgeoning regulatory framework, it is important for pet-care professionals to be best equipped to meet these combined demands and expectations whilst fulfilling the vital role you play in helping pets and their owners receive the best possible care, welfare and enrichment.<\/p>\n

The Dog Business School provides a range of courses and resources that will help the aspiring professional go from starting a dog business with the focus on the business knowledge, skills, services and resources, through to various Ofqual regulated qualifications from leading national awarding organisations, together with tailor made and accredited courses.<\/p>\n

Our courses aim to set an appropriate standard for canine oriented business skills as well as ensuring a suitable standard and approach towards the best possible care and welfare of animals.<\/p>\n

The Dog Business School<\/a> offers a wide variety of accredited and recognised practical and online courses.<\/p>\n

The Ofqual regulated qualifications from national awarding organisation like AIM Qualifications and iPet Network meet the qualification standards set by Defra\u2019s Licensing of \u2018Activities Involving Animals\u2019 under the Animal Welfare Regulations 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A word from our founder,\u00a0Randle Stonier<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_font_size=”20px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

I decided to start the Dog Business School because of my frustration with a whole raft of training providers when we initially came to set up our own licensed home boarding, daycare and dog walking business.<\/p>\n

I wanted fit for purpose \u2019knowledge nuggets\u2019 \u2013 things I could consume from my mobile whilst out and about, ideally in 2 minutes, as well as videos, live coaching and personal accountability whenever possible. I also think learning should be fun.<\/p>\n

But as importantly, I was irritated at the lack of transparency in the training space about what are really accredited courses \u2013 and when I say accredited, I want to know when I take a course that it\u2019s OFQUAL regulated, or it\u2019s not. DEFRA set the minimum qualification standards for dog licensing regulations in England, and I want to know if a course is formally recognised at a Governmental level. Don\u2019t hide behind the \u2018accredited\u2019 label, when it\u2019s only accredited by you and your mother-in-law. It doesn\u2019t help my business to find out I\u2019ve blown hundreds on a course that the regulations make mandatory only to find out it\u2019s not officially recognised.<\/p>\n

Also, it hacks me off when I book a course and subsequently find out I need to fork out another \u00a3150 for books as the specific course has no training resources included. Well fine, it\u2019s probably reflected in the price \u2013 but tell me about it up front, so I can budget.<\/p>\n

You could say I wasn\u2019t overwhelmed by the training offerings or the transparency in the dog business world. So I vowed to set up and offer what I hope will be a series of relevant clear, unambiguous courses and resources that meet both the \u2018canine\u2019 side of setting up and running a professional dog-care business as well as the business side of a canine business<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some courses and content will be OFQUAL accredited, some won\u2019t. But we will be clear and transparent about what we\u2019re offering and whether it\u2019s OFQUAL accredited.<\/p>\n
