I am a life member of North Shore Dog Training Club, having held office as President, Secretary and Head Instructor at various times. I continue to be an active member and volunteer instructor at this club. I am also a New Zealand Kennel Club qualified Assessor for the Canine Good Citizen scheme Dog training, handling and understanding is an ongoing and developing skill. I have attended seminars and workshops of internationally known dog behaviourists and trainers, such as Jan Fennell (UK), Brian McGovern (UK) and Ian Dunbar (USA). I continue to broaden and enhance my practical experience and knowledge by attending a full time, one year Unitech course in Certificate of Animal Management (Canine Behaviour and Training). My personal dog training achievements encompass a wide variety of obedience-related activities (obedience, tracking trials, agility, flygility, heelwork to music). I have qualified my dogs in a number of New Zealand Kennel Club recognised titles. I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge with you. |
