Read MoreA course packed with info and years of experience distilled. One to return to and find new nuances. Clear arguments, latest information, academic, structured and yet very personal. Justine is the most encouraging teacher I've met so far. And the community discussions - another great bonus! Highly recommended.

Read MoreI enrolled on this course wanting to expand my knowledge on horse behaviour having worked mainly with dogs. The breadth of information given is amazing and there's plenty of information about dealing with the human side of the equation (something that I've found many animal behaviour courses lack). Thank you Justine for being so patient as it has taken me a long time to complete the course - I've definitely got a lot from it that I will apply to my own horse, and hopefully one day clients too!
