3D Pet Casting Training Course – Award‑Winning 1:1 Pet Keepsake Training
Turn your love of animals into a meaningful, flexible business. My 3D Pet Casting Training in Dorset teaches you how to capture every tiny detail of a paw or nose print, creating a “forever” keepsake that pet owners treasure for a lifetime. With UK pet owners now spending over £100 per month on their “furry family,” there has never been a better time to learn this beautiful, high‑demand skill.
I’m Glenda — an award‑winning keepsake artist with over 20 years of experience. I grew up surrounded by dogs, and my 9‑year‑old Cockapoo, Pickle, is my lead model. Training with a real pet gives you the confidence to handle genuine, unpredictable situations — something you simply can’t learn from practising on inanimate casts.

What You’ll Learn During Your 3D Pet Casting Training
This 1:1 private mentorship focuses on the safety, comfort, and temperament of the animal — the most important part of successful pet casting.
Live‑Model Practice
You’ll work hands‑on with Pickle, my friendly and well‑trained Cockapoo, so you learn how to handle:

Sensitive noses

Why Training With a Real Dog Matters
Most courses teach using plastic samples or pre‑made casts. But real pets move, wriggle, sniff, lick, and react.
Training with Pickle teaches you how to:
Position paws safely
Calm nervous animals
Work with excited or wriggly dogs
Read body language
Keep the process stress‑free
This is the difference between knowing the technique and being able to do it professionally.
