I am a certified Games Based Concept Trainer and this is Bracken my Working Cocker Spaniel who's been with me since she was a puppy.

As life long animal lover it was important to me when considering her training that I chose a method which didn't require punishment or fear, that's how I came to find games based training and the start of what has been an amazing journey with her.

All of my classes and 1 to 1 sessions are based upon positive reinforcement, reward based training methods which incorporate fun filled games to teach your dog the life skills needed to become a confident and happy hound.

This method of training builds a fabulous relationship between you and your dog, it creates a dog which really wants to hang out with you on walks rather than the dog on the other side of the park, a dog which is happy to walk calmly by your side on or off lead and most of all a dog who see's you it's guardian as it's best friend for life.

Pro Dog Trainer

In addition to qualifying as a Pro Dog Trainer, I have continued my professional development with CPD courses in Scentwork and Force Free Gundog Games.

Both these practices are highly beneficial for your dog whatever the breed, as they offer an outlet for the dogs natural behaviours and desires and focus on building a strong relationship between dog and handler.
