Our Head Trainer Alice has worked with dogs in a professional capacity for many years, including rescue and grooming.
Alice holds a FdSc with merit in Canine Behaviour and Training and has also completed her BSc in Canine Behaviour Management. Alice has already achieved her Diploma in Canine Behaviour Training and a Level 3 Award in Dog Training achieving a higher Distinction which means her theory and practical skills are constantly being rigorously assessed.
Alice has spent many years working with rescue dogs to help them overcome a variety of issues in order to help them be placed in the most suitable homes. From a young age Alice has been fascinated with canine behaviour, which led her to work with wolves at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust. This work helped Alice gain further insight into how animals learn and why they may behave in certain ways.
