PUPPY AND DOG TRAINING
DOG WALKING
Dogs are my big passion in life. I am the proud mum to three dogs: Libby a Flat Coated/ Golden Retriever cross and Evie and Scully who are both Flat Coated Retrievers.
All my previous and current dogs have competed in agility. Libby is retired from Grade 6 and for her retirment, Libby has found the joys of hoopers. Evie is my little training machine who excels at any kind of trick training while Scully participates in gundog activities. We train in Rally-O while Libby is also a therapy pet and regularly visits a local care home where she is very happy to meet all the residents and makes sure that the floors are cleared of any biscuit crumbs.
I must, however, not neglect to mention our cat Scrunchie who is a 4 year old rescue that rules the house and can often be found stealing the dogs' food. Scrunchie enjoys an active outdoor life and very much loves bringing us the occasional present or two!
I have taken my passion for dogs and cats further and incorporated it into my working life. I am a Victoria Stilwell Certified Dog Trainer (Online), have a Canine Principles Dog Coaching Accredited Diploma and successfully completed Puppylab, 30 Days of Science and Scent 4 Six with the School of Canine Science and am a certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM) with Kim Brophey. Further to undergoing continuous PDP to develop my knowledge of canine training, behaviour and cognition to stay up-to-date with the latest research, developments and training techniques, I furthermore study Canine Behaviour with Canine Principles.
I am also a full member of the Pet Professional Guild (https://ppgbi.com) which advocates force-free training, a practitioner of the UK Dog Behaviour and Training Charter (https://ukdogcharter.org) and a member of ICAN International Companion Animal Network.
