Hello, I am the instructor at Puppy Paws Training.
About twenty five years ago I bought Roxy, a young Lurcher, from my local rescue centre and decided that she needed to learn some basic obedience. I started attending pet training classes with her and I have been training dogs ever since.
Before I started training my dogs for competitive obedience I used to spend every weekend during the summer months showing and racing my Lurchers at Country Fairs and Lurcher Shows all over the country.
I also trained one of my Lurchers for agility until I decided to concentrate on training her to a good enough standard to compete in obedience at Open level.
I have owned and trained eight different dogs since then. I still compete regularly with my dogs at Open and Championship Obedience shows and I also judge at Kennel Club licensed obedience competitions.
