A.B.C.D.O.G
Creating Attentive Behaved and Confident dogs through positive training
About
WELCOME TO A.B.C.D.O.G

​
Like many trainers, my journey started with a dog that I did not understand. At the time I was given lots of advice, some good and some bad. Wanting to do the best that I could for my dog I started studying canine behaviour and have now gained several qualifications. Animal training is every changing and I pride myself on always continuing to develop my own knowledge
​
Having worked in an animal shelter for nearly 10 years, more than anything else the animal's welfare is always my priority. I am what is called in the industry a 'force free' trainer. This means the techniques I will recommend are not based on pain or intimidation. There are many different ways to train a dog, but I don't believe pain and fear are tools I need in my tool kit.
A.B.C.D.O.G is committed to working with dogs and their families to rebuild fractured connections and help create attentive behaved and confident dogs. I use modern, positive and easy to learn techniques which you and your dog will enjoy.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon!
