ABOUT US

Tom

I have gained over 25 years of experience working with many breeds of all ages such as small puppies, older dogs and rescue dogs, dealing with a wide variety of training issues. To get the best out of your dog, it is very important for dog and owner to build a healthy relationship, using a variety of primarily positive training techniques to empower your handling skills so that both you and the dog have a more enjoyable experience rather than a miserable one! I was brought up into the dog training business from an early age, regularly overseeing dog training classes from my dad’s shoulder until I could walk. 

I was bought my first dog, a yellow Labrador named Boo, when I was five years old. I started competing with Boo in Junior gundog competitions which led to an interest in shooting. By six years old, I began to develop a passion for dog training and frequently helped my dad with client’s dogs. I developed a strong bond with Bentley, an English Springer spaniel, and it became clear that my handling skills came naturally. 

At 11 years old, I bought my own working English Springer Spaniel, Breeze. I competed locally and took Breeze on shoots. I currently have three of my own dogs, two working English Springer Spaniels, Swift and Ivy, and a working black Labrador, Sooty. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and regularly go on camping trips all around the UK.
