Canine Connections at Central Bark Positive, reward based dog training to help you and your dog reach your full potential. In my spare time I volunteer for he German Shepherd Dog Rescue.

I have worked with dogs since leaving school 27 years ago and have always aspired to promote canine welfare and had a keen interest in dog training. After leaving school I attended Kirkley Hall College to complete an NVQ 3 in Animal care whilst working in kennels. After leaving kennels I started working for a large pet store and ended up managing several stores and working as an adviser in pet car

e for the company. During this time I completed numerous nutritional courses in partnership with premium feed manufactures & obtained a City & Guilds qualification in Pet store management and Animal care. My previous dogs, Benny and particularly Maverick (retired/failed police dogs) found me seeking a more in depth understanding of dog behaviour and this lead me on my journey over 20 years ago. My passion for nutrition was started and the relationship between diet behaviour still remains a core part of my training programmes. I am a gold level instructor with the Academy of dog training & behaviourists and full member of the Guild of dog trainers. Professional development is very important to me and I am studying Advanced Canine Psychology at the Animal Care College and continuing courses with the world renowned School of Canine Science. I am a registered microchip implanter, qualified Pet First Aider and a registered C-SQP, meaning I am able to advise and dispense certain veterinary products. I specialise in aggressive dogs and behavioural problems associated with these aspects. My passion for nutrition interlinks with my holistic approach to dog behaviour, looking at all aspects of the dogs health, well-being & environment. I love spending time with my boys Oki & Denver who are Saarloos Wolfdogs & my now retired horse Tova. I also own and operate Central Bark Dog day-care which is where i run my classes and training workshops. Central Bark has been providing first class day care services for over 9 years and is set in acres of beautiful countryside just outside of Morpeth. Secure in and outdoor facilities are available and all of our staff are first aid trained, qualified, experienced, fully licensed i and insured.

We all know that certain breeds are more adept at scent work than others but this a sport that any breed can do. We had a group of new starters today, spaniels, GSD x and a Pomeranian…. All of them did amazing for their first go.

Teaching the puppies to focus on their owners…. Teaching the owners to focus on their puppies! You can’t be boring when you have a puppy, they have short attention spans and need you to keep them engaged. Watch their body language and know when they are getting distracted or losing interest in you. Set them up to succeed in every situation.
