Dog Trainers Daventry

| Hello there, I'm a reliable and hardworking canine behaviourist, with over ten years’ experience of working with animals. I currently live in Daventry but willing to travel to surrounding areas to help take care of your beloved pets whilst you're away. I want to reassure you that your babies will be in my safe and capable hands living their best lives by learning some new tricks, but most importantly keeping to their daily routine as much as possible. I have pet sat on and off for a couple of years however, my main experience is as a dog trainer, working for charities such as the Dogs Trust and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, helping to rehabilitate rescue dogs. If your a cat owner please know I have experience working with cats and rearing kittens when working in a cattery at Cheltenham Animal Shelter. I really hope this information helps fill you with confidence knowing your pet is being loved and cared for by a true professional whilst you're on your holiday. Please do give me a message if you have any further questions and want to know more about me and if I can help in any way at all :)

I have done a 2 yr animal welfare course at Moulton college we have a dog at home who we Re homed from a re homing centre I have 2 bearded dragons I have always known I've wanted a career working with animals an enjoy looking after them caring for them.

| My experience with all species of animals started at a very young age. I was brought up around mostly dogs, cats and horses, however, I have encountered working with other livestock, rodents and certain exotic animals over the years. I specialise in equine performance/therapy/training but my experience/skills and interests also cover canines. I have owned horses for the past 10+ years and I have expanded my knowledge in that area. My university degree course is: BSc (Hons) degree in equine performance and therapies. Additionally, I am a certified equine sport massage therapist with plans to educate further. I can confidently handle, work, treat most horses always referring to the anatomy and natural behaviours. My learning journey will definitely not end as I believe you can learn something new every day. In canine care I have not yet completed a related degree, however, I have still completed additional research, in conjunction with contacting trainers, nutritionist, breeders and professionals/therapists to expand my knowledge in canine behaviour/nutrition/training/breeding/breed specific information etc.

| I love animals and have owned 4 dogs over my lifetime. I have a lot of experience with dog training and can give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve whilst you are away. I currently own a 5 month old border collie puppy named Roxie who is very playful and loves socializing. She is already well trained and loves adventures, so I could even bring her along with me to give your dog some extra fun playtime and socialization!

| Hi I’m Esther and I love dogs! At the mature age of 40 I have said goodbye to my corporate life as an event director and about to embark on a dog grooming course to follow my dream of opening my own business and working with dogs full time. To earn money in the meantime I would love to keep my focus on dog care, be around as many breeds as possible to enhance my own learning and for self wellbeing. I don’t have experience to talk about in the field of professional dog walking or care but I have two dogs of my own, a cavapoo and a Yorkshire terrier and I’m the first to be asked to care for friends dogs when they are off on holidays etc. I can promise that your pooch will be in good hands :)

| Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m an 19 year old who is currently completing a foundation degree in canine behaviour and training after completing an animal management extended diploma course. I have always had a love for animals and own 2 rabbits, and 2 dogs, one who is a rescue from Romania and the other is a XL labradoodle, who are all currently at home cared for by my parents while I am away at university. Previously I have fostered small animals (eg rodents) for the local rspca. I have also worked in multiple catteries and have completed work experience in a canine hydrotherapy centre. Additionally I worked in a doggy day care centre for 7 months before moving away to university.

| I was training as a vet nurse in my 20s but life had other ideas and I became a registered dental nurse right up until now. I have cared for my own dogs,cats, hamsters, rabbits cockateels and pet rats through the years though and I will always be an animal lover. My cat Pebbles is 21 and she's been with me since she was 4 mths old My eldest daughter is a veterinary surgeon. She is always able to answer any queries I have with my pets and indeed has been Pebble's vet the past 5 years. During the pandemic I walked more, often 10 miles a day and often thought it would be even nicer with a dog or two by my side. I don't have a dog at present but I have owned a Jack Russel through to old age and a German Shepherd and Jackahuiha. I always had animals as a child as my father loved to rescue any wildlife that needed help. Our dogs and cats were always rescued. Usually from the RSPCA. Now I am 55 years of age I would really like to move away from dental nursing and care for animals, my first passion. Walking dogs for their owners who find it difficult to exercise their dogs themselves due to work or becoming less able bodied. A good hour or two walk in any weather is perfect.( Except exceptional heat of course)

| I am a professional who is now working towards a foundation degree as a behaviourist. I specialise in reactive dogs and will use counter conditioning and desensitisation on every walk.

| I previously worked for a small but busy dog walking, day care and home boarding company for almost 3 years before moving to Leicester and finding my most recent job at the rspca. I have learned a lot over the past few years after completing my level 3 animal management course. I am now branching out on my own I looking forward to hearing from you and meeting you fur babies (or non fur babies).
