I am qualified and accredited trainer of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) on the Principles of Dog Training & Behaviour with the OCN following their Code of Ethics and a Dog Training College approved trainer and a Canine Hoopers World instructor. I am also Platinum Member of the Pet Professional Network. As an advocate for gentle and rewarding methods of training I do not use or condone the use electronic collars, prong collars or other pain emitting equipment or the use any force physically or verbally towards dogs. Any other equipment used must not tighten or cause your dog discomfort. I believe that this is essential but the well-being of you & your dog is the basis of everything you do, so also incorporates choice-based training and shared activities that build a strong relationship, connection and two way communication with our dogs.
The journey that brought me to where I am physically & professionally was a long and winding road as the Beatles said so here is a short version of the 50 odd years I have been in this world.
