 Joshua Waters, Kingsbridge, Devon   Joshua Waters:
“Thanks for the course. It was what I needed to make the leap from dream to reality.”
 Megan Morgan, Bridgend, Wales   Megan Morgan:
“Having now completed two Lantra courses with Mendip Vets, one of which being DIY AI (which was super difficult if you aren’t blessed with an arm the length of a giraffes neck) I can definitely say I would not train with anyone else.  
Sotirios is highly professional, has all the latest and coolest gadgets and every course covers even more than you could imagine. His knowledge has no-end and his ability to make you believe in yourself when you’re struggling, is complete wizardry.
A sweet, friendly and fantastic guy, who is easy to get along with and who is also both hilarious and certainly knows his stuff.
I cannot recommend Sotirios and Mendip Vets enough and plan to do more courses with them in the future. 10/10”
