Hi, I'm Liz 

I help frustrated pet parents who are sharing their home with  Spaniels, Labradors, and other high-energy Gundog breeds.  I love and work with dogs of all shapes and sizes, but helping our high-energy dogs to live a fulfilled and frustration-free life in their home is my passion and my specialty.   

My journey into dog training started in 2012, then in 2017 I was awarded a FdSc in Canine Behaviour and Training from Hull University.  In 2023 I became an accredited instructor for the Gundog Trainers Academy (GTA-AD 020) who are striving to raise the standards of ethical, reward-based Gundog training.  I am also an accredited Animal Training Instructor with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC-ATI)

Sharing your life with a dog who is hardwired to do a job can be really tough and super frustrating - for you and them!  BUT, when you both start to understand each other and learn how to work WITH their genetics instead of fighting them, things can be so much more enjoyable for both of you.

 

Let me know what your biggest struggles are right now!

Does your Spaniel only have two modes: Sleep or mayhem?

Is walking your dog a nightmare? 


Are you embarrassed and frustrated by their lead pulling? 

Do you feel guilty that they can't have any freedom off lead?

I know exactly how it feels to bring home a puppy and dream of all the places you'll visit and things you'll do together, only to end up with a dog that you can't take anywhere without pulling your hair out!  

I specialise in Gundog breeds and their crossbreeds because I have been on that same rollercoaster ride myself!  I started my journey into dog training and behaviour in 2012 and quickly developed a passion for working with dogs who are easily over-stimulated by life itself!

Since achieving a FdSc in Canine Behaviour and Training from Hull University and establishing DogScentric in 2017, I have worked almost exclusively with these breeds and it is clear that they need a more specialised and tailored approach as the generic dog training advice is often ineffective or incomplete.  In 2023 I became an accredited instructor for the Gundog Trainers Academy (GTA-AD 020).
