âAnimals are my life and give me so much joy and companionship. I want to help all my clients feel the same enjoymentâ.
Gillâs school is called âCompanions for Life â, as this is her goal - empowering owners to train with positive reinforcement methods and reach the place where they enjoy their canine companion to the full. For Gill, this is so rewarding to initiate and to be invested in the on-going process.
Gillâs career in dog training and behaviour starts with an interesting story... To encourage her son to study for matric, Gill joined him by undergoing the late Professor Odendaalâs Ethology courses. When Gill moved to Cape Town in 2002 and had to reinvent her life and career, she turned to Puppy Socialisation and Training to complement her Behaviourist studies as her full-time profession.
Gill has specialised in puppy and young dog training as she believes that a good foundation of early training, advice and guidance is what puppy owners need. Gillâs classes are held at Blaauwklippen Wine Farm (Stellenbosch) and at her home in Joostenbergvlakte (Northern Suburbs Cape Town).
The Puppy Course is followed with a Basic Home Obedience Course in which all owners are prepared to achieve their Canine Good Citizen Bronze certificate. Gill also stewards at KUSA shows for CGC Bronze, Silver and Gold as well as Special Beginners, Beginners and Novice obedience (shown above).
