A little
about me
I'm a full member of the
Association of Pet Dog Trainers
(APDT1155) abiding by their code of practice
I attended four years of annual assessment
and achieved certification through the
British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers
gaining both a first and second.
I run dog training classes in
Mansfield and Nottingham
and offer 121 home sessions.
I have run puppy parties at a local
veterinary practice & Q&A sessions at a
local pets at home store.
I previously instructed at
Nottinghams longest
established dog training club.
Growing up I was surrounded by dogs,
including
Gsds, Dachsunds and
Mixed breed rescues.
Currently two Std Schnauzers
and two mini Schnauzers
allow us (!) to live with them
My view of dog training has changed over the years.
I have experienced first hand the results of trainers with "loads of experience" with little or low quality knowledge
and dogs have paid a high price for it.
Experience is great, but without up to date, relevant and respected education
it is nothing more than trial and error.
My main interest is helping owners understand their dogs behavioural problems particularly dog 'reactivity'
I have regularly attended seminars/lectures and maintain an annual level of CPD via the APDT.
