Carol's Latest Book

Doggy Doctor Surgery Secrets

£19.99

Have you achieved what you want in life?
As a child I only wanted two things – to be a doctor and to have a dog. My new book, Doggy Doctor Surgery Secrets, tells my story about how working as a doctor helped me become a leading dog trainer and behaviourist, The Doggy Doctor. It makes me uniquely positioned to help others wanting to become dog trainers by sharing how my experience can help people build their knowledge, confidence and skills to become effective, empathetic teachers in their own right.  Here’s what two readers have said:
Reading this book is like having a good chat with a mentor, starting slowly and then going deep down into the nitty-gritty of the dog trainers’ world.
It’s a great book for someone wanting to create a career in the canine world as it provides a clear structure they could use to start on their career.


Doggy Doctor Surgery Secrets is also available from Amazon
