About Us

Family Dogs Services is a family run business comprising of married couple Claire & John Denyer.

“Our mission is to help dog owners get their training right first time and help them correct any unpredictable behaviours that occur during their dogs development. We have both always had dogs in our families. We lost our first Black Labrador Gemma to old age. We now have the pleasure of ow

ning three Black Labradors from working lines, Indy, Dude and Rose, who have all achieved the KC working gundog certificate. Although initially we trained our working dogs as a hobby and for the joy of watching our dogs do what they were bred to do, we have, over the years become passionate and committed to dog training and behaviour on many levels. In 2015 Family Dog Services was born. We are thrilled to be able to put our passion and knowledge to good use helping owners of varying breeds and issues with their training needs. People are often unprepared for what is required to develop a well mannered, obedient pet, and even when you get everything right, circumstances beyond your control can give rise to challenges. For that reason we decided to learn to teach key skills that your dog should have, provide assistance and advice to enable you to correct any issues you are having and help your dogs become well mannered members of your family. Our focus is to show you, how, through changing your own behaviour and attitude towards your dog, your dogs behaviour and attitude towards you will be rewarding. Our aim is to offer you the skills to develop a well mannered, obedient and respectful dog. We have both advanced and further developed our knowledge and skills training alongside behavioural trainer Robert Alleyne, undergoing his instructors course, and his Canine Instructors Academy, and various work shops and seminars

We studied with L*z Graham, author of The pet Gundog series of books and DVDs and completed the accredited Pet Gundog instructors programme with distinction

We have attended various workshops and seminars including canine first aid, dog aggression, Tellington ttouch, Zoopharmacognosy, and studied dog training and behaviour with the CIDBT (Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training)

John is a level 4 certified True 2 Life International trainer, and a featured expert on the Ladies Working Dog Group .com

Claire is the author of the puppy book 'The Life of Rose' (Raising puppies the family dog services way) and is a group expert, and trainer for the Ladies Working Dog Group

Claire and John both regularly assist and lecture on Robert Alleynes 5 day residential Canine Instructors Academy course

Today was the last day of the Park Farm Frittenden shoot season for Rose and I (sadly we are missing beaters day)

Thankyou to the beaters, the guns, the picking up team, the under keepers, our game keeper, Charmian, ... everyone who's been part of making this season so special

Enjoy a few clips of our day

Genie (13 months old) After picking up with Dude this morning, I dropped him home, exercised Rose, and then headed back to the shoot to pick up John. I took Genie with me as we were popping to the pub after the shoot. I stood with Genie and we listened to the sounds of the final drive from afar and Genie wasn't phased at all by the shoot day sounds. She just sat listening happily. She was, however, very afraid of the team walking back up over the hill towards us at the end. In the pub she was impeccably behaved, so all is good #geniesjourney #geniethegundogintraining #genie #gundogtrainerlife #gundogtraining #gundogintraining #gundoginthemaking

The dude... showing how it's done... #seniorgundog #traininggundogs #retrievertraining
