Hi, I’m Donna. I break it down so your dog can build it up.

Reward-based dog trainer and gundog specialist, running small classes across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and parts of Berkshire.

How I train

Every dog learns differently, so in my classes I take each task and break it into smaller pieces that your dog can get right, then build them back together into the finished result. It keeps dogs confident and owners smiling.

I work with puppy owners getting off to a good start, gundog owners who want a keen, steady working partner, and anyone whose dog would love more enrichment and a bit more confidence. Training is always reward-based, and I keep classes to a maximum of six so I can help every dog individually.
