I started out with Dali, my sheltie, taking him to our local dog training club where I very quickly became involved in running the club by joining the committee. Before long I was asked if I was interested in becoming one of their dog trainers. In 1995 I started training dogs, firstly spending a year assisting the existing trainers, in the puppy and beginners classes.
Since I have chosen to specialise in puppy training using gentle hands off reward based training techniques. Over the years I have gained valuable experience by attending various training courses, demonstrations and work shops on dog training. Competing in the fields of obedience, agility and breed showing, has given me the expertise to advise you on many aspects of dog training.
I constantly strive to improve my knowledge and have recently completed the COAPE Advanced Diploma in Companion animal Behaviour and Training and have also completed the COAPE Think Dog! course, written by the late great John Fisher. In addition I also hold a Puppy Instructors Certificate from COAPE. It is my aim to continually improve my knowledge base which will allow me to offer the latest training techniques and to keep up to date with the latest developments in Canine Behaviour and Training.
Please see the "courses " page for details of the dog training services that are on offer by following the link on the left hand side of this page.
