I am a behavourist, dog trainer and an agility instructor. I am also a master trainer.
Over the last 20 years I have attended various instructor courses & seminars and I am Canine first aid trained and fully insured. I have 1 lab now (Sadly our other 2 dogs went to rainbow bridge). All of my dogs have achieved their Kennel club good citizen puppy, bronze, silver & gold awards. My dogs have done agility & gun dog training. The eldest also achieved his bronze, bronze star, silver & silver star tests with the BIPDT as a young dog. My new puppy is also attending classes and working towards his awards. My training is always ongoing. I regularly attend seminars, workshops and courses. This means that my teaching methods are modern and innovative, aiming to provide a better service for my customers and their dogs. I also have experience working with blind and deaf dogs.
