Course Overview
A career working with dogs may have seemed too good to be true, but in today’s society, career opportunities working with dogs are more plentiful than ever before.
However, the general requirement is that the applicant have a proven ability to carry out the work to a high standard. This is why we are very excited to be able to launch the Practical Dog Management programme to Ireland. This course is the first of it’s kind, and will prepare graduates for a successful career in the following industries;
- Dog Daycare
- Assistant Dog Carer
- Dog Rescue Charities
- Boarding Kennels
- Dog Sitting & Dog Walking
- Working Dog Carer (customs dogs / sniffer dogs etc.)
- And any line of work where managing the welfare of the animals is paramount.
- is far more accessible then ever before. Creedons College have designed the Practical Dog Management course with the needs of the learner in mind. We have created a programme that has had extremely high satisfaction rates and a high ratio of graduates going on to become professionals in the dog care industry.
This course is;
- Delivered on weekends, facilitating those working fulltime, or travelling from a distance
- Just three months long, meaning you will be ready to work professionally in next to no time
