Hi - I’m Jennifer and I thought that I’d share some history about me!

I’ve always had a huge passion for animals and was lucky enough to be brought up with dogs and horses from a very young age. During my late teens I spent a couple of years as a working pupil with Gill Watson where I competed Arthur my 16.3 Irish thoroughbred gelding at a number of one day events around the UK.

I then married Ryan in 1996. On the day we got back from our honeymoon we knew that we really wanted a pet, but both working and living in a flat with no garden a dog wasn’t possible for us - so we went out and found a beautiful Oriental kitten Chloe. She was adorable, but hated being left on her own all day, so we got her a friend - Millie a Burmese beauty! Then it was time to have a family and three years later Olivia came into our lives and then four years after that I had Hugo. When we moved into our current house, The Old House Farm in 2005, we knew that we were ready to have a dog.

Now in March 2020 we still live at the same house and have 6 labradors (Lulu 13, Pipit 11, Twiggy 9, Hattie 7, Zara 3, Margot 1 today!). We also have two cats, Olly 7, and Bella 7. I’m a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder and have so far had 5 litters, with more to come in the future hopefully.

I’ve been a bit of dog training for the past 10 years, but last year decided to become a professional dog trainer by getting some qualifications. Approximately 6 years ago I started to research into dog training and knew that the only method that would work for me is through ‘positive reinforcement’ and that’s when I found the IMDT (Institute of Modern Trainers). I attended a two-day course back then and then most recently a five-day course in September 2019 to then go on and do my assessment in October 2019. This was the hardest thing I have done in my life, but I passed and an now an IMDT Qualified Dog Trainer together with an accredited certification from The Open College Network Level III Principles of Dog Training and Behaviour, am a member of The Guild of Dog Trainers and have attended a IMDT Canine Body Language course and a Canine Aggression and Rehab course.

I’m also chairman and retriever working test secretary for The Chiltern Gundog Society with nearly 1,000 members owning both retrievers and spaniels. We put on training every month from March to September and organise a number of working tests and field trials for both spaniels and retrievers. This is a voluntary role which is hard work, but enjoyable as I have the most amazing committee who are extremely supportive and brilliant.

I will continue to increase my learning and knowledge of dogs, their training methods and behaviour moving forward and I look forward to working with you all.

With best wishes

Jennifer Thomas
