Qualifications/Experience
I have been training retrievers for field trials and gundog working tests for the past 15 years and have, during this time, made up a Field Trial Champion.  I also instruct general obedience and socialization in my puppy, adolescent and adult dog classes and assist pet owners by way of private lessons with problem pets.  I run specialized courses for training retrievers for the field as well as clicker training workshops and courses.  I am an accredited Super Pup Trainer, and have passed the Canine Culture Instructor’s Puppy Course with merit.

About Our School
My school is situated in a fully-fenced area adjacent to a well-known dog park in the leafy town of Kloof in KZN.  My main aim is to help dog and puppy owners to establish a relationship based on mutual trust and respect.

Other  Services Offered
As a follow-on to Puppy Kindergarten I offer Junior Good Manners 1 and 2, which is based on the KUSA Canine Good Citizenship programme.

In addition to formal classes I offer private training at clients’ homes, where the training plan is tailored to meet the client’s requirements.  I also help with integrating fearful and anxious dogs into situations where there are other dogs and strangers.
