Previous Experience

From young age responsible for family guard dogs - German Shepherds and Rottweilers. We adopted and rescued some of them and they were pets with guarding duties in pub trade.
I have been around dogs all my life and trained them naturally using positive and fun methods. I have been working with rescue dogs intensely for last 7 years and supporting colleagues with their dog problems within my previous role as Head of School.
Due to my upbringing and formal training I am able to review the dog and owner holistically to discuss the relationship and their individual needs, this enables me to ensure that I develop a best practice approach to training and walking so that it is an enjoyable experience for all concerned - regardless of the weather

Relevant Info

I have a natural and direct approach to training. My motto is different dogs and different owners are a unique individual situation. I work with a pack of dogs - some purchased and some rescued.

I have worked with food aggression, separation anxiety, poor dog manners, pulling on lead, poor recall, 'toiletting issues', crate issues, night time problems and do this by using effective and positive methods.

I enjoy watching other 'famous dog trainers/behaviourists' and their techniques and utilise all to best to meet YOUR needs and YOUR dogs needs.
