TRAINING DIPLOMAS

Ever want to work towards titles with your petz without having to enter and wait for shows to judge (initially put together so my daughter could earn titles with her petz as she's too young to participate in forums). Diplomas are a fun activity you can complete with your petz on your own. They are non competitive and you simply work together to train towards each new level.

Train each of the tasks and then claim the diploma, you can share your images on your website or a forum if you wish to prove you've earned the diploma. Feel free to use whatever clothing, backgrounds and toys you wish to make them more fun.
