ABOUT ME
My name is Annie and I am a Dog Groomer and a Certified Dog Trainer, fully insured and pet first aid trained. Positive, fun and friendly. I have recently gained my Trick Dog Instructor certification also.
My passion for dog grooming and training started with my poodle, Reeks. When I got him I took him to as many dog training clubs, classes, workshops and fun dog shows that I could get to. I did this to not only further our training but to get an understanding on how dogs learn in different aspects of training whether it be for obedience, agility, rally and more. It was with each moment that he "clicked" with the behaviour, that has made me want to share that feeling with dogs and their owners.
To gain more hands on experience and understand various aspects of behaviour i have spent the last two years shadowing a local trainer and behaviourist attending and now taking classes as well as assisting with home visits, this has helped me with real life scenarios.
Throughout the summer we regularly compete in obedience and as well as working our way through our gundog training levels.
To further my knowledge on how dogs work i am also studying canine fitness, conditioning and therapeutic massage so i can offer fitness plans to puppies, elderly dogs and sports performance dogs.
