With a passion for animals deeply rooted in her volunteer work and personal experiences, Donna embarked on a journey to expand her knowledge and expertise in the field. However, faced with the challenges of anxiety and discomfort in traditional learning environments, Donna turned to online education for a solution. Through learndirect's Canine Care, Behaviour, and Welfare courses, Donna found not only the flexibility and convenience she needed but also a pathway to personal and professional growth.
Volunteering, Rescue, and Companionship
Donna's journey into the world of canine care, behaviour, and welfare began with a profound love for animals and a desire to make a difference. As a dedicated volunteer for various charities, Donna's passion for helping animals extended beyond philanthropy; it became a way of life. Her connection with her own rescue dog, adopted from Romania, was more than just companionship - it was a mutual rescue, a bond forged through shared experiences of overcoming adversity.
Overcoming Anxiety and Social Discomfort
Despite her unwavering dedication to animal welfare, Donna faced a challenge in her personal life - anxiety and a dislike of in-person interactions. The prospect of traditional, classroom-based learning intensified her anxieties, preventing her from pursuing her passion for canine care and welfare to its fullest potential.
Embracing Online Learning with learndirect

Her academic achievements served as a testament to her resilience and determination, and she continues to progress by moving up to the higher level courses in this subject.
A Story of Empowerment
Donna's newfound knowledge and expertise have empowered her to volunteer not only for the Dogs Trust but also for other animal welfare charities.
