About Emma
As far back as I can remember we always had a dog in the family home, so having dogs around was quite natural but they were just family pets, As I got older and finally had my own home I got two dogs of my own too, but not knowing how to utilise their abilities sadly it wasn’t long before I could no longer take care of them. I met and married Darren in my 30 s and very quickly learnt of his knowledge of dog training, as I began to take more of an interest I found myself wanting to learn more and more, we now have 3 family dogs which we have fully trained ourselves for different activities and work. I continue to better my skills and knowledge every day and love to pass valued information onto others through the business which was officially created in October 2020 and continues to grow making our dreams a reality.
About Darren
From a very young age I was always interested in dogs and what makes them tick, I would watch my father train our family dogs and learn things from him. Growing up this made me want to take a further interest in dog training so I began to research alot about a dogs natural instincts and behaviours, I furthered my knowledge and education in my late teens by doing various courses, some of which included working with the local police and their scent and protection dogs. I have also done voluntary work with service dogs learning search and rescue, and I have also previously trained one of my own dogs Echo to be registered on the national search and rescue database.

In January 2024 we sadly had to say goodbye to our Echo.

Echo was a huge part of the pack and is missed and remembered every single day.

Our Ethos & Aim
We have a passion to help improve the Dog/Handler relationship, we do this by ensuring all of our sessions are 1-2-1 in your own home or an environment that will enhance your training program.
We have found our training is more successful when the dog learns new things and modifies behaviours in a place where they are most comfortable, rather than in a group with others.
The time we spend with you and your dog is personal and tailored especially for each individual dog and their human.
Because we are breed specific, our training methods are adapted to tap into your dogs natural abilities to help them bring out instincts from their ancestors and DNA i.e.: herding, protecting scenting, retrieving, pulling/for speed or stamina and many other traits that our dogs carry, this allows us to plan your dogs training in a naturally structured way.
