Training

New service starting September 2024.

I have been working hard again behind the scenes, gaining qualifications in dog training and have been teaching in puppy classes and progression classes for another local business while they have been on holiday, I've been assisting the classes for a year. I recently achieved my qualification with IMDT Steve Mann' Easy Peasy Puppy Instructors Course and am listed on his website.

Here is some information about the course:
