A Bit About Me
Fiona Holdsworth B.Sc (Hons) PGCE RVR CHWI has been training dogs since 1986. Starting with a reactive GSD and competed successfully in agility then moved on to obedience. Throughout her extensive experience she has worked with numerous puppies and adult dogs for variety of training elements for different disciplines as well as promoting a well balanced and happy dog with self confidence. Fiona's knowledge has been developed through education in addition to research and continual learning experiences.
​
Methods are changing all of the time and it is important to keep up to date and continue to move forward with positivity and enthusiasm to develop confident and well balanced dogs and happy owners.
