Staff

We are a family run business, who when it comes to our staff, focus on natural ability, experience and positive reinforcement in training dogs than certificates of knowledge. We are lucky to have excellent, passionate trainers as part of our growing team. Between us, we have knowledge of all breeds of dogs both working and pet trained and experience of even the most problematic dogs and behaviours.
