Tracie currently owns 5 dogs - one of which was an older rescue dog taken on due to behavioural issues, one was purchased as a puppy and two were home bred and the final one was a young adolescent rescue with little socialisation. Over the years, Tracie has taken on many dogs who have been deemed not rehomeable and modified their behaviour. This is where Tracie's love of dog behaviour grew and her interest in a more holistic approach for the dog around training and behaviour modifciation. 

Tracie worked as a dog warden and fostered and advised on behaviour for various Bull Terrier and Spaniel charities, Tracie also works sheepdogs, has trained in agility and obedience and shown dogs to championship level.

 

 Tracie holds full liability insurance so that your vet can refer you to her with confidence. . Tracie has attended CAP 1 & 2 training with Kay Laurence and clicker gundog training courses run by Helen Phillips. Platform training with Kay Attwood and Scent work training with Nando Brown and Jo-Rosie Haffenden. She is a member of UK Sniffer dogs and runs Bronze level training classes during the summer months. 

 

Tracie is proficient in Clicker Training if you ever fancy using that method but otherwise training revolves around using food, toy and environmental rewards. 

 

Tracie's main aim in life is to try to give people the tools with which not only to train their current dog but also any other dogs they end up owning. These are life skills that you can pass on to your children and she wholly encourages anyone in the household turning up to the classes so that everyone knows how to train the family pet. She aims to offer this in the most affordable way possible.The whole training process is designed to create the best possible relationship with your dog so that training becomes easy.
