THE DOGOLOGY DOGS

OKI

Oki is a Japanese Shiba Inu. He is a registered Pets As Therapy dog who regularly visits care home residents where entertains them with his many tricks. He is the first and only Shiba to earn a Rally Obedience title, and he has also had some success at Agility competitions. He dabbles in dog showing and has qualified for Crufts on multiple occasions, although he is retired from showing now. He has given me an insight into primitive breed behaviour and taught me a lot about how to motivate dogs. Oki is currently enjoying Hoopers and Agility training as well as entering Rally Online competitions.

PANCAKE

Pancake is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, or "Toller". She loves to work and train and has already achieved Rally titles and won the Toller Rally League 2017. She is also a successful show dog, having won Best Puppy in Breed multiple times, placing well at Crufts 2018, 2019 and 2020 and she has now gained two prestigious awards called Challenge Certificates which gives her entry to Crufts for life. She is currently enjoying Agility and Hoopers training and in 2019 she made her Agility debut with some lovely successes. Pancake also competes in Rally Online competitions and won Top Rally Online Toller 2019.

OLIVE

Olive is also a Toller and she loves Agility. She has enjoyed her first competing season starting at the end of 2021 and got some lovely results for such a youngster. She is a joy to train and we are having fun competing. She is also doing well in the show ring, having also won a CC at a young age just like Pancake. We are working towards achieving her Agility Warrant Bronze awarded by the KC (points are given for every clear round at a KC competition) and she's over three quarters of the way there with less than a year of competition experience. Agility is definitely our main focus but she has also competed in live Hoopers competitions and Rally Online with success.

ABOUT ME

I am a fully qualified dog trainer and lifelong lover of dogs. I take a particular interest in how dogs learn, keeping up to date with the most recent research. I offer training that is sympathetic to the natural behaviour of dogs, whilst giving owners the techniques and confidence to get the best out of their companion. I firmly believe that reward based training is the most effective way to help dog and owner build a strong bond, making a good working team where the dog is a valued family member. I genuinely love my work and I will do everything I can to help you in any capacity you need.

I regularly work and compete with my own dogs, enjoying a variety of different activities from Pets As Therapy to Rally and Agility. Check out the "Dogology Dogs" section to find out more!
