In 1987 I started training my first dog Jake, a yellow Labrador Retriever. From there my canine family gradually grew with; Ben, Checkers, Nike and Annie. My working partners and companions now are Maya and Squiq who both play major roles in my puppy programs.
In addition to living with my own dogs I took in numerous others over the years for rescue groups and owners looking for assistance to rehabilitate and re-home theirs and those in their care.
I was keen to understand more about canine behaviour and to be a Dog Trainer. All the dogs I have had the opportunity to care and work with have been my greatest teachers and the catalyst to wanting to understand how dogs learn.
