Contact details![]() Louise Welsford Cell + (0)84 828 7880 wescc@iafrica.com www.louisesdogblog.wordpress.com 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. Method of Training I use puppy-friendly methods of training, utilizing various ways of getting and maintaining behaviour such as lure and reward, clicker training and classical conditioning, and have experience with all these methods. I also teach owners about appropriate play with their pups and how to integrate play into their training sessions. Course Content
