Canine Connections at Central Bark Positive, reward based dog training to help you and your dog reach your full potential. In my spare time I volunteer for he German Shepherd Dog Rescue.

I have worked with dogs since leaving school 27 years ago and have always aspired to promote canine welfare and had a keen interest in dog training. After leaving school I attended Kirkley Hall College to complete an NVQ 3 in Animal care whilst working in kennels. After leaving kennels I started working for a large pet store and ended up managing several stores and working as an adviser in pet car

e for the company. During this time I completed numerous nutritional courses in partnership with premium feed manufactures & obtained a City & Guilds qualification in Pet store management and Animal care. My previous dogs, Benny and particularly Maverick (retired/failed police dogs) found me seeking a more in depth understanding of dog behaviour and this lead me on my journey over 20 years ago. My passion for nutrition was started and the relationship between diet behaviour still remains a core part of my training programmes. I am a gold level instructor with the Academy of dog training & behaviourists and full member of the Guild of dog trainers. Professional development is very important to me and I am studying Advanced Canine Psychology at the Animal Care College and continuing courses with the world renowned School of Canine Science. I am a registered microchip implanter, qualified Pet First Aider and a registered C-SQP, meaning I am able to advise and dispense certain veterinary products. I specialise in aggressive dogs and behavioural problems associated with these aspects. My passion for nutrition interlinks with my holistic approach to dog behaviour, looking at all aspects of the dogs health, well-being & environment. I love spending time with my boys Oki & Denver who are Saarloos Wolfdogs & my now retired horse Tova. I also own and operate Central Bark Dog day-care which is where i run my classes and training workshops. Central Bark has been providing first class day care services for over 9 years and is set in acres of beautiful countryside just outside of Morpeth. Secure in and outdoor facilities are available and all of our staff are first aid trained, qualified, experienced, fully licensed i and insured.

Blyth Beach this afternoon for some training with the lovely Faye. She is getting great at being able to walk past other dogs now but sitting still and learning to cope is harder. We worked on some exercises that allowed her to look at the dogs then walk away to be rewarded. Working with reactive dog is harder work and can be draining. With Faye her owner is experienced in managing her so I am aching in some new ideas and exercises and also being another set of eyes for triggers and another reward provider to make it easier and be able to work in more intense situations. If you need support with your training for any issues book a free consult call@to see how I can help.
