Our Trainers
Agility classes are run by Katie who has over 14 years experience of working with Dogs including Military and Police Dogs and dogs trained for private security companies.
Katie has a certificate in education and training and also been a swimming teacher for 7 years so has plenty of experience in teaching.
She currently has 4 dogs of her own, 3 Malinios, Heidi, Bridget and Ralph and a Dutch Shepherd called Brenda. In the past she has owned a Labrador called Brian, Malinois called Megan, Kody, Chaos & Shelly, a German Shepherd called Pip and a Collie cross called Max.
Katie currently doesn't have a competing dog to to them all retiring or passing away (and Bridget doesnt like it!) Ralph will hopefully compete once he is old enough - his training is going well so far.
​
Katie and Chaos competed on the Great Britain Team for the Belgian Shepherd World Championships in Germany in 2017.
Katie is also a Kennel Club Championship judge for Agility and Judges Trainer.
