I have been training and trialing with my Golden Retrievers under the Eden Kennel prefix since 1998. For 25 years I had been an active member of the NKC and for a number of years, I volunteered my services as a Training Instructor and Training Director in charge of implementing, scheduling and the overall running of the NKC's Obedience Classes. I have also taught classes for Pure Gold Dog Sports a

nd I am now sole owner of First Things First Dog Training and provide classes at the Callander Canine Centre . I am a home town dog trainer who has had a fair amount of success in the sport of dogs and given my roots I still feel that every dog deserves to be trained respectfully and every owner deserves to have quality dog training instruction at affordable and reasonable prices.

If you're doing some spring cleaning, don't forget about your pet's bedding and soft toys.

These items can collect dirt, bacteria, dander, and odours over time. Regular cleaning helps reduce allergens, keeps your pet’s environment hygienic, and supports their overall health and comfort.

A quick wash can make a big difference in keeping your pet safe, clean, and happy, so add it to your spring cleaning checklist! ✔️
