Introducing the Dog Business School

The Dog Business School is a Recognised Centre (No: 61391) of Open College Network West Midlands and as such offers a range of both regulated and accredited courses.

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 focused 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’s more sophisticated professionals, with rich, relevant content delivered through a mixed and engaging blend of learning media.
