I have been professionally training dogs for more than 30 years and find massive satisfaction helping others to enjoy their dogs as much as I enjoy mine. Qualified at Surrey University to train, assess and compile reports on dogs observed and then discuss strategies and development plans. Competed in the 50th National Police Dog Trials, aimed at encouraging the professional development of police d
og handling. The competition tested skills including tracking, obedience, agility, searching and detaining. I won two awards; One for the highest score in Phase 3 and then for acheiving overall fourth
place in the competition. During my time in the police force I have trained a wide and varied breed of dogs in the detection of humans,
controlled and prohibited substances with modern and progressive methods. Since leaving the force I have trained and competed in obedience, field trials
and working tests. I continue to love working and
training all dogs and meeting
their owners. My approach to training is through positive leadership
by encouraging the wanted behaviour whilst discouraging that unwanted behaviour. My
aim is to develop loose lead walking and building a strong
bond between dog and owner. I offer residential training for dogs that have more challenging behavioural issues and training needs. Ocasionally I do have young dogs part and fully trained that are available for rehoming.
