Testimonials
“From the Rescue to the Home is a must for all staff at pet shelters and rescues to better assist adopters in making educated decisions during the adoption process. Adopters should be required to take this course as a condition of taking a dog home. JJ Belcher is an excellent instructor and the Leerburg team has created another fine online course.”
– Mark, proud owner of VooDoo Doll
“As someone who has so many pets, this balanced, patient, common sense approach is a welcome relief. How We Manage Dogs in Our Home was excellent, and the thrill of seeing such a dramatic improvement in my own dogs has made me seriously consider a future career in the dog training industry.”
– Louis, proud owner of Aslan
“As a teacher, I am above and beyond impressed with the level of content provided by Leerburg Online University. I have been so blessed to find these courses that ‘speak my language’! I appreciate the short segments and that lectures are presented in video and text formats.”
– Rebecca, happy dog-mom of Sherlock
