DWSA Team
Meet the Team
The DWSA is a branch of the British College of Canine Studies. We’ve been providing canine courses since 2010 to canine professionals in just about every profession. Students include staff and volunteers at the RSPCA, Dogs Trust, Battersea, Blue Cross, Vet Nurses, Council Dog Wardens, Trainers, Behaviourists, Kennel Staff, Police Dog Handlers and obviously, Dog Walkers and Sitters!
We created the DWSA to further enhance and influence the dog walker and sitter industries. We want to contribute to a great level of training, knowledge and safety in what is a fast growing industry and one of the most popular dog related businesses.
James

Elizabeth
Elizabeth is part of the overall Admin team at BCCS and was a dog walker for more than ten years. She helped set up the DWSA. Elizabeth and James married prior to Elizabeth joining the BCCS team, so we are now very much a family business!
