Course Curriculum

Sue Watkins

I live on the beautiful Somerset Levels with my family, husband Mark and my two grown children along with  my Labradors and a Working Cocker Spaniel. My earliest memory is of being a toddler and being surrounded by a litter of Labrador puppies, bred by my parents. My passion for dogs was ignited and has remained with me ever since.

I have had dogs of my own for many years, both rescued and bought as puppies of assorted breeds, and challenges. For five years I worked for a Greyhound rescue charity, as a regional rehoming officer. We dealt with all sight hounds with our area rehomed about 150 dogs a year - all with differing histories and needs. 

 Twelve years ago,  I decided to have a change of tact and stopped working in rescue and decided to run my own business. I still dealt with dogs and their owners, but I supplied them with food designed to meet their differing nutritional needs. I hold a Certificate in Companion Animal Nutrition (QCF Level 3) awarded by COAPE. I still trained and worked my own dogs, but felt it was time to follow a long-held dream to become a dog trainer.

I have now completed several Sarah Whitehead courses and was a Licensed Trainer with her Clever Dog Company Method for two years. I love training with working line gundogs particularly Labradors, but I am more than happy to work with any breed of dog! I love to watch dogs and their owners progressing in their relationship, developing a bond, building their confidence and learning using positive, science based methods.

I offer one to one home visits, and training in very small groups in a secure training paddock. I regularly update my knowledge and experience by attending seminars and workshops. I am fully insured and DBS cleared. All training adheres to the APDT code of practice.
