I've always lived with dogs and been around them for as long as I can remember. Always loved training obedience with my late Lab and then a few years ago we rescued a high energy Beagle X Springer Spaniel. He came with the full package of problems, reactive to other dogs, no recall, would disappear after pheasants and anything else that moved. A few months ago I set about properly training him. Spent hundreds of hours learning everything I could, studying training methods online, working with him daily out in the fields and on walks, and completely turned him around. He's now fully off lead, has bombproof recall, walks calmly past other dogs, and has advanced obedience and tricks on top of that. Going from that starting point to where he is now gave me a really deep understanding of how dogs actually work and how rewarding it is seeing a dog improve. Alongside that I volunteer weekly at a dog rescue in Leeds where I walk and assess dogs of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds. I'm comfortable with reactive dogs, nervous dogs, pullers, and everything in between. If your dog just needs company and a good walk - brilliant, I'm happy to do that. If they've got a bit of work to do: lead manners, reactivity, recall, tricks, whatever it is - even better. I genuinely enjoy the training with dogs. We also have private secure land at home which I can use for dogs that need their own environment or some focused training work away from distractions.
