What do CPCFT Course Participants think about the course? Read below to find out!

I started the journey to become a CPCFT over a year ago. This course was easy to follow, excellently prepared lessons and instructors were very accessible. As a very new person in this field, I never once felt ‘a step behind’ in my learning. All homework assignments were pertinent to the lessons. The feed back from instructors was incredibly fast. When it came time to start my case studies, I felt I was 100% prepared for each phase of the case study and flowed through with my clients almost seamlessly. Again, feedback on every case study was quick and full of helpful suggestions. The instructors never stopped encouraging all of us. The time spent in the past year taught me more than I could have ever imagined! Truly grateful for finding and participating in this course.

“I can highly recommend the CPCFT course. The material is very well put together and the used platform works well. The units are building on each other to ensure that the beginner can be successful and the more advanced students deepen their knowledge. I appreciated the detailed personal feedback to the assignments a lot. Tara and Debbie are both available to answer questions, give valuable feedback and encouragement. After completing the course I feel equipped to be able to make a positive difference for the dogs and owners in my community.”

– Manuela Pike, CPCFT

For the last few years, I have been interested in learning about canine fitness, and Tara’s and Debbie’s coaching and teachings did not disappoint. Apart from being extremely knowledgeable in the field, they are both, by far, the most supportive and encouraging instructors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I now have greater compassion and awareness for dogs’ posture and movement. Plus, the empowerment that comes from understanding how to positively impact dogs’ physical strength, balance, flexibility, and proprioception. This course has been invaluable and has forever shaped how I observe and work with dogs. I hope to contribute to this amazing field!

The course was very well thought out and put together. The pacing was great especially for the uninitiated like me. Feedback throughout the course was really helpful and certainly helped me improve my skills. Overall, would definitely recommend this course to any aspiring canine fitness trainer!

– Webster C., CPCFT

I had obtained my CCFT before coming into this program, but was not feeling strong enough in my skills to include conditioning into my existing canine bodywork business. Tara, Deb, and the CPCFT program provided in-depth information in fitness and conditioning, helped improve the areas where I needed strength, and have enhanced my skillset and confidence to bring this work to my practice. I’m so excited to share my new tools in this work with my clients to continue helping them feel and be their best.

I am so pleased I took the CPCFT course, it has been hard but amazing. I have learnt so much and really appreciate the support provided by Tara & Debbie. The course is very well organised and professional. I look forward to following my true passion and helping owners with their dogs fitness in the future.

– Judith Parkinson, CPCFT

The CPCFT is something I have wanted to do for a very long time and when I heard that the course was being updated I knew I had to apply. Thankfully for me I got accepted into the very first Cohort of the revamped course. A huge learning curve for me, but all the content was presented in such a way that you could easily revisit them to revise. Each unit built upon the previous one to help increase your knowledge and the inclusion of so many videos, photos and diagrams was extremely helpful. Tara and Debbie have been so forthcoming with their knowledge and skills and I was very grateful to be able to spend some time with both of them in Canada and US in August this year. Looking forward now to putting my skills into practice.
