My name is Debby Lucken, I’m an award winner (Animal Star Award, Best Animal Educator - highly commended - 2019).
I’m based in Poole, Dorset and I offer dog training sessions using positive, modern and ethical dog training methods.
I am a family dog trainer, which means I specialize in helping families with children to train their dogs in a busy family environment.
My incredibly strong love for dogs lead me to become a dog walker and dog boarder first, to then realize I wanted to learn more about our furry companions. I qualified as a dog trainer with the IMDT in London, under the expert guidance of Top Dog Trainer and Behaviourist, Steve Mann.
I am part of both the Pet Professional Guild and International Companion Animal Network (ICAN), which promote force-free training, making sure dogs are positively trained.
I am studying at the International School for Canine Psychology and Behaviour (ISCP) and Canine Principle.
I am also an OCN externally accredited dog trainer.
I am fully insured, DBS checked and committed to continue my professional development, by keeping up to date with the latest discoveries on dog psychology and methodology, which is why I regularly attend classes, seminars and conference on dog training and behaviours delivered by the best in the field, such as Victoria Stilwell, Dr. Ian Dunbar, Dave Brice, Dr. Hare (Duke University); Linda P. Case; Lisa Tenzin-Dolma; Sarah Whitehead and Steve Mann.
Memberships include:
IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers)
ICAN (International Companion Animal Network)
IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consoltant)
PPGBI (The Pet Professional Guild British Isles - membership number 41115711)
Normally, I would run Dog training classes from Holy Angels Church hall in Lilliput, Poole on Monday evenings and Friday day-time.
However, I still offer group classes online (Zoom), which works beautifully! I record our lessons, which you are free to watch for up to 6 months afterwards.
I also offer online private lessons, whether you need one single lesson, or a package of multiple visits, don’t hesitate to contact me at 07769 114 506 to book an appointment. Private sessions are also recorded and you can view them for up to 1 year from the lesson itself.
Normally, I would also offer socialisation walks every other week, to make sure our puppies get used to people (children included) and other dogs in a friendly environment. I look forward to resume this event when it is safe to do so.
Every year I organize the Pocodogs Dog Show at Upton Country Park, in front of the beautiful Upton House. The next Pocodogs Dog Show will be on Sunday, 25th of April 2021 from 11am to 4:30pm!
