Positive reinforcement training - How it all started
After spending over 30 years working for the Government in one capacity or another (RAF, Greater Manchester Police, IPCC), I retired from full-time employment following a serious health scare.
One day, one of my neighbours saw me training my own Newfoundlands and asked if I’d help with their dogs, which I did. They asked me if I’d ever given consideration to training dogs in a professional capacity and this definitely gave me food for thought! The more I thought about it, the more appealing that idea became and the search for an appropriate training course began.
I believe in positive reinforcement training methods and having done quite a lot of research, I finally settled on the intensive course run by Victoria Stilwell. I graduated from the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behaviour in December 2017 and have been training dogs ever since.
