Dog Training Qualifications & Experience – Trusted, Reward-Based Expertise in Essex

With over 30 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, my professional journey formally began in 2017 when I became a certified dog trainer. Since then, I’ve led countless training classes and worked closely with handlers to build trust, confidence, and connection between dogs and their people.

​

I’ve also trained my own dogs in specialist disciplines, including search and rescue with a focus on Human Remains Detection (HRD) — an emotionally demanding field that requires precision, compassion, and an unbreakable bond between dog and handler.

​

At Paws Etiquette, I bring all of that experience into every session, whether you're joining a puppy class, a scentwork workshop, or a one‑to‑one behavioural consultation.

​

My passion for dogs is matched by my commitment to ethical, up-to-date, science-backed training methods. I regularly undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD) through respected industry organisations to ensure I stay at the forefront of reward-based dog training.

​

Your dog’s welfare and your relationship with them are at the heart of everything I do. I believe training should be positive, empowering, and enjoyable — for dogs and humans alike.
