I have being instructing and conducting behavioural work since 2000 in Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire but moved back to this area in 2005 to be closer to my family; as I was born in Shrewsbury and grew up in Oswestry.
From 2000 to 2005 I instructed at Cranbourne Dog Training School; one of the largest, most successful schools in the UK. Including at this time I attended (2000 and 2001) the Volhard Dog Instructor’s Camp in Massacusetts, USA. (see links)
I have completed the Centre of Applied Pet Ethology’s Pet Behavioural course; tutored by Peter Neville, Sarah Whitehead, Robin Walker and Val Strong.
I am a Member of the Kennel Clubs Accreditation Scheme for Instructors, working towards accreditation.
I take an on-going approach to my learning and attend a number of seminars and workshops each year to ensure I am upto date with current thinking and training methods.
On my 10 week Beginners Course you will learn how to teach your dog to:-
* Down, Sit and Stand * Sit on loose lead by your side * Heel – walk on a loose lead by your side * Sit in front (for putting on lead etc.) * Attention exercise (watch the handler) * “Let’s go” exercise (casually walking) * Sit stay and down stay * Left U Turn (to keep dog from getting under your feet) * Recall ( to come back to “Come” or “Here”) * Motivational release (as a reward for correct behavior) * Circle left (with dog in heel position) * Down stay * How to reinforce your come when called * Long down (control exercise) * ‘Leave it’ exercise
