CLAIRE

OWNER

Claire originated Holidays4Dogs back in 2006 with just a handful of local carers, she has since built the business into the extensive UK wide service it is today. Claire’s working career began as a post graduate within Medical Product Development. She then took a break from full-time employment to raise a family of four and to start her own business. Claire has been a life-long lover of animals, especially dogs and horses. She is rarely happier than when walking her dogs, riding her horse around the farm where she lives or being with her family. Family life always comes first but socialising and world wide travel are also enjoyed by Claire.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

 
  • Giant breeds are subject to a supplement expense of £4/day/dog payable to your dog’s carer.
  • An extra supplement expense of up to £5/day may be asked for by your dog’s carer for looking after your puppy.
  • Fees are subject to change.
  • Holidays4Dogs home boarding booking fee and also the carer’s expenses are charged by the calendar date and not by the 24 hours. This means that you have your carer available all day on the day that you wish to leave your dog and on the day you wish to collect your dog (particularly early and late times by prior arrangement with the carer). This gives you the complete flexibility that you need.
  • The minimum stay is two days at the daily rate. Please remember to check your travel times and book your dog’s exact stay accordingly.
  • Total boarding fee/day is made up of the Holidays4Dogs booking service fee and the carer’s expenses which is paid by you directly to your dog’s carer when you drop your dogs off at the beginning of the stay – cash preferred (negotiable with individual carer).

ABOUT P.E.T COURSES

 

Pet Education and Training courses are an Open Education College for distance learning and hosted animal health and behaviour related courses in the UK and in all English speaking countries throughout the World.

Pet Education and Training courses provide specialised up to date and accurate canine and feline related programmes of study for anyone who is interested in pursuing a career or currently works with animals. However, courses also suit pet owners who just want to learn more about their animals.

 

Our courses are written and assessed by professionals currently working within the animal nursing, behaviour and training field. This means that we can share real-life experience with our students in order for you to develop professionally.

 
 
 

WHAT IS CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)

 

Most professionals in many sectors are expected to fulfil CPD.

For certain canine professionals CPD is required to track and formalise on-going study. For home boarders, doggy day-carers and kennel owners it is likely to be a requirement for obtaining or maintaining an Animal Activities license (AAL).

CPD is recognised by many employers and is a requirement for belonging to a number of pet professional bodies.

Structured CPD gives students and professionals a clear path to success within their current role and for progression to future ones.
