About Us 

 

Avon Dog Services specialises in helping owners understand their dogs through a range of bespoke training and behavioural programmes, alongside a wide offering of manageable and practical tools for owners to takeaway and utilise at home.

 

We strongly believe that when dealing with dog behaviour, positive reinforcement is key. That is why none of our dog training or behavioural alterations involves choke chains, pinch and shock collars or physical reprimands. Not only do these methods of dog behavioural training cause unnecessary suffering on the dog but it can also break the bond between dog and owner.

​

If you're looking for a dog trainer in the Bath area of the UK, that uses these counterproductive training techniques, then sadly you're in the wrong place. We wish you all the best and look forward to welcoming you back within the next few months when those techniques have failed to work, or worse, resulted in more unwanted dog behaviours!

“I've been fascinated by dogs and dog training since I was young. My job is not something I just fell into. I've been doing what I love since I left school and I'm incredibly passionate about my chosen career.

​

After buying our first family dog at the age of 14, we enrolled for puppy socialisation class. It was here that I was instantly hooked. After reading all the literature available at the time I wanted to further my knowledge in the dog training field.

 

In 2000 I attended Houghall College (Durham) where I obtained a National Diploma in Animal Management & Behaviour. Wanting to develop my skills further, I enrolled at Bishop Burton College in association with Hull University. I graduated in 2004 with a Foundation Degree in Animal Behaviour and then furthered my qualifications to obtain a full BSc Degree in Applied Animal Behaviour & Training.

​

My work focuses on wanted and unwanted behaviour rather than good or bad behaviour. For instance, having a dog on the couch may be acceptable for one person, but not for another. By tailoring sessions around each of your needs you can be sure to get the best out of your dog.”
