VSA has helped me to lay my dog trainer foundation. I couldn’t have been happier with their online platforms and intensity of testing. It really challenges you and you learn so much during the entire process. It’s not ‘just’ about training dogs. Customer Service, client communication, business set up and so on and so forth. It’s the whole package that makes it so special. The faculty members are amazing. I’ve stayed in touch with many and it’s always such a welcoming and empowering environment interacting with them, during and after the course. I’m proud to be a VSA graduate. Thank you!
