Eric Wight (Proprietor)
Eric has worked with Dogs for over thirty years starting out as a "whipper in" at a local Beagle kennel.He became interested in the working side of dogs and has competed successfully in Obedience,Agility and Working Trials with breeds as diverse as Gsd,.Boxer, French Briard,Jack Russell and the humble "Hienz" to name but a few.Eric specialises in dealing with our more difficult behavioural cases and many dogs which were visiting the"last chance saloon" through problems of aggression etc have been returned home to live a normal and happy life after attending one of our residential courses.He has extensive knowledge and experience with a huge range of breeds and is very aware of the need to treat each pupil with an individual and personal approach,rather than the old ideas of one system for every dog.Eric's approach is unique in as much as he spends a great deal of time chatting with the owners whilst observing the interaction they have with their dogs and only when he has a very clear idea of the root of the problems does he decide on a training course for your particular dog.Eric believes that the vast majority of training has what he describes as a "Bandaid approach" that is to cover up the problem rather than get to it's cause and have it removed.There have been very few cases that Eric has been unable to help with and in each of these there has been found to be an underlying medical problem.Eric's main interest lies now in the breeding and training of the true working line German Shepherd and he has recently imported some of the top bloodlines from Germany which he is hoping to compete with in the sport of Schutzhund.

Travis Foster
Travis is our latest major discovery!!!
Although being a friend for many years Travis has only recently agreed to come on board to help with the demand for "Quality assured " Dog training and we feel extremely lucky to have someone with his enormous talent, on call.To watch Trav (as we prefer to call him) work with a dog is awe inspiring, infact in the world of Schutzhund, (where men are men and the bars are busy!) it is only Travis who commands complete silence when he walks onto the field.(Whether it's the shock of his haircut or not we haven't worked out!)Travis is not only extremely well known and respected within the competition circuit, with his Rottweiler "The Pig" (without doubt the most highly qualified Rotty to work in the U.k) but he can often be seen rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous having worked his dogs on many T.V. and Film sets.More recently he has worked with many of the countries police forces and is one of only a very few privileged civilian dog handlers to of attended a Police explosive's course.If it's highly polished obedience you want from your dog you could do no more than arrange an hour with "our Trav" and if not book it anyway and get him to work his own dog for you,you will leave with a whole new concept on training your pet and probably spend the whole journey home making clicking noises!!!
