As a lifelong dog lover, Poppy found herself getting lots of questions, from friends and family, who had become first time dog parents, asking for help and advice. At the time, she felt she was unqualified to give this advice, but it inspired her to learn more, and become a certified dog trainer - through VSA, to be able to help all dog parents. Poppy love’s working with dogs and their families to
help develop and nurture their bonds. Each session is tailored to the needs of the dog and their families, and are centred around positive and rewarding experiences, to help you learn together. As with people, all dogs are different too, in personality, learning techniques and needs. This is reflected in the training plan, as well as being educational, it is clear Poppy puts thought and heart into all she does. Poppy will never put you and your dog in a situation where you are set up to fail. Each session is always about progress and the little wins. During your sessions with Poppy, you will be guided through each training exercise, ensuring that you and the dog are comfortable, enjoying yourselves and always working towards building confidence together. Using her knowledge of science-based training techniques Poppy also explains why, what and how each training method is useful. It is clear Poppy is passionate about what she does. Poppy's goal is to encourage and enable you and your dog to find a common language, build a partnership and keep it all positive, rewarding and fun!
