About Ginnie
Hello, I have had dogs since I was 16, my first dog was a Beagle and that indeed was a learning curve. I moved on to Rough Collies and then with a young family down sized to a Shetland Sheepdog, Callum, who was a wonderful family pet. Over the years I have been involved with many breeds from Border Collies to Afghan hounds.
But obedience training started with my sheltie Archie back in 2008. We competed in Obedience, Agility and Rally-O shows with some success.
Archie was an amazing dog who was easy to train and I learned so much about each dog sport on his journey.
Archie’s main buddy as Fraser, a Border Collie. Owning and training Fraser taught me so much about dogs that need to have a purpose and want to work, and that a ‘one size fits all’ training method does not work for dogs. Each one is different and needs to be trained for its own characteristics. I currently have two dogs I am working with, Taff a Shetland Sheepdog and Remi, a Rough Collie.
I have a Diploma in Dog Psychology, Behaviour and Training. I have over ten years of experience instructing at both a private training company and at public dog clubs. Both these experiences have enabled me to look at puppies and their families and direct them in the right way for a happy household and well behaved puppy.
