I have been training dogs at both pet and competition obedience level for 22 years, and I am a member of The Association of Pet Dog Trainers. I have also judged at Companion Dog Shows.

Over the years I have watched the training methods evolve from the harsh methods once common to the much kinder and more effective methods I use today.

Along with the majority of pet owners I want a happy dog which I can take for a walk without having my arms pulled out, and a dog which is good around people and other dogs. The methods I teach in my classes are exactly the same as I use with my own dogs.

I firmly believe in helping owners and their dogs to achieve a closer bond and a clearer understanding of each other.
