About Aileen.....

Like many trainers I was first introduced to dog training with my own "problem" dog, Charlie, a Romanian ex-street dog. Seeing the transformation that training made to his behaviour and confidence ignited a passion and I've been studying & learning ever since. I am -

• a graduate & Certified Training Partner of the world renowned Karen Pryor Academy 
  
• a fully qualified & assessed member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) 
• a registered Animal Training Instructor with the Animal Behaviour & Training Council (ABTC)
• a member of the International Companion Animal Network (ICAN)
• Scotland's only Family Paws Parent Education licensed trainer
  
• a Kids Around Dogs (KAD) approved trainer

As a parent I have a particular interest in promoting safe child/dog interactions and am the first, and currently only, trainer in Scotland licensed to support new and expectant families with dogs.

Learning never stops and continuing professional development is hugely important to me. I continually develop my knowledge in order to offer you the most effective and up to date training possible.

I use only modern, ethical, effective training techniques and will always put your dog's welfare at the heart of everything I do.  I am committed to doing my very best for every dog & owner I work with.

Happy training x
