    Completion of the course gave me the confidence to talk to my clients about their dog's health concerns. I gained a deeper understanding of how poor health can be affecting dogs behavior and habits.

    I can't begin to tell you how much I'm loving this course! An abundance of information is presented in an engaging and structural way, not only explaining the causes of each condition, but also current treatments and advice on prevention.

    I want to compliment LCO on creating an interesting and efficient course. I do a lot of traveling for my job and having the flexibility to follow the study while on the road, with no deadline to finish, was really helpful. I was pleasantly surprised that my course instructor was always prompt to answer my questions. Thanks a lot!
