Dog Training
A well-behaved dog is an absolute joy to own.
“Dear Karen, I must thank you very much indeed for training Muffin. He is a real credit to your training and to the time you have taken with him. Quite honestly I can say in all my years of dog owning and training I have never had such a well-trained dog”. Linda and Terry Pickup
Maybe this is your first dog, or a ‘new’ dog, or you haven’t owned this particular breed before.
The dog can’t learn by itself, so you will all enjoy the teamwork involved in training your dog on a 4 week Dog Training course with Karen. All courses and sessions are on a one-to-one basis so make sure you get the best, and most tailored advice available.
Those essential basics that make life with your dog simpler, safer, and happier.

Karen is an accredited Behaviourist with the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (www.apbc.org.uk) . She is also an Associate Member of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers (ABIPDT) and a full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). She has extensive knowledge of working with family dogs and has many years of practical hands on experience with many dog breeds and situations. As Karen is an APBC member you may find that your pet insurance policy covers behavioural help.
You should contact your Veterinary Surgeon for referral. Often, pain or other medical conditions such as thyroid problems can affect your dog’s behaviour. If you are a Veterinary Surgeon and would like to register Karen with your practice for referrals, please contact her here.
Q. Is this something that my pet insurance may cover?
A. Yes! Behaviour Consultation fees with an APBC member are fully or partly covered by many insurance policies. Please contact your insurer for details.
Q. Why must I seek referral from my Veterinary Surgeon?
A. The APBC recognises that there can be a link between some medical conditions and behavioural symptoms. As a result a strong link is essential between the Veterinary surgeon and the behaviourist.
Q. How quickly will I see results?
A. The program advised may produce some results very quickly, particularly where you are learning new practical handling skills. Often it will take time, effort and commitment from all the family to produce the improved behaviour. Always remember that your dog’s problems may have developed over a long period of time. Following your consultation, further advice and support is available by phone and email as you progress. There is a chance that you may need further training assistance following behaviour consultation which may be booked separately.
