Meet David

Over a decade with HM Prison Service

I have worked with dogs my whole life, including more than ten years as an accredited handler and trainer with HM Prison Service. After a long career there I was medically retired, and I now give that same expertise to local families and their dogs, working on my own terms and at my own pace, for the love of it rather than the diary.

My first job is always to make you comfortable with me. Only then do I turn to your dog. I work calmly and patiently, and I read what is in front of me rather than the label a dog has been given.

Just as important, I train you. A dog only holds onto good behaviour when the people around it stay consistent, so by the time I leave you have the tools to keep it going for good.
