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.

Emotionally Meaningful These keepsakes often mark milestones, celebrations, and heartfelt goodbyes. Clients remember you forever.

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:

• Wriggly paws

• Sensitive noses

• Nervous or excitable behaviour

• Real‑world unpredictability

Training with a dog who is already comfortable with the process allows you to build confidence safely and effectively.

The “Zero‑Stress” Method

My signature approach keeps animals calm, safe, and relaxed throughout the casting process.

Material Mastery

You’ll receive my verified list of pet‑safe, high‑definition formulas that capture every hair, pad, and texture.

Business Blueprint

I’ll teach you how to:

• Partner with vets, groomers, and pet boutiques

• Build a referral network quickly

• Price your work confidently

• Create a premium brand pet owners trust

What You’ll Be Able to Create

• 3D paw casts

• 3D nose casts

• Framed keepsakes

• Freestanding sculptures

• Puppy milestone casts

• Multi‑paw family frames

• Memorial pieces

These are high‑value, high‑demand products that clients cherish.

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.
