“I took part in a Dog Photography, Dog Grooming and a Dog Behaviour lecture. I was particularly interested in Photography and Paul Keevil, who gave the lecture, helped start my photography "thing". He took me two other YKC members to Discover Dogs 2008 to be press photographers for the Kennel Club. I am now a journalist for my college magazine and I am working on pushing my career forward. I also benefited greatly from the grooming and behaviour class and in September I am starting a distance learning Dog Behaviour and Psychology Course and I am on the waiting list for an Introductory Dog Grooming Course. I would recommend everyone who is interested in the canine industry to take part in a career day, and I owe a lot to the people who helped me start my career choices” Lupe Van Der Stigchel
