| 12. What experiences do you have with dogs? (ie. obedience, agility, work at SPCA etc) | I began competing in obedience competitions in 1980 and have successfully campaigned dogs through to Test C and attained NZKC Tracking Dog qualifications.

The training principles I follow adhere to the Code Of Ethics of the Association Of Pet Dog Trainers New Zealand and are based on sound scientific and modern thought. They are simple to apply and proven to work without destroying the relationship you have with your dog. As well as being available for in-home and one-one-one training or behaviour consultations I have established a training facility in Miramar in conjunction with the emBARKERS Hound Lounge Dog. | |
