About Your Instructor:
I am the founder member of the Birmingham Schutzhund Club, specializing in high-level obedience, precision tracking, and protection work.

My background also includes experience as a dog handler and successfully gained a qualification in passing the (NTIPDU) National Training Inspectorate for professional dog users for the security industry. Show-line German Shepherd dogs, competed at major championships, including Crufts.
In addition, I spent seven years as a fully trained Canine Hydrotherapist, treating dogs with various medical conditions and supporting their rehabilitation. Today, I continue to train numerous clients and their pet dogs in tracking awards based on the UK Tracking Dog Association’s rules and regulations. Many of my clients have successfully progressed from Foundation Level to Level 4 Awards and remain active in the sport. I am a qualified Instructor and Assessor to Level 4 awards, through the UK Tracking dogs association.
