As the Founder and Owner of Paws in Harmony Dog Training Club for 15 years, the success rate of which was excellent, I reached a total of 26 classes, it was more than I had ever dreamed of. 

Sadly it also became time consuming, and finding time to train my own dogs in the sport that I love HTM (Dog Dancing) became more difficult.

During this time I was a keen member of the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme and was happy with the pass rate achieved with our handlers and their dogs through Puppy - Bronze - Silver & Gold.
 
 After much thought I decided to 'gift Paws in Harmony' to a new owner and start afresh with fewer classes as Staines Dog Training. 

  
 
 
Working my own dogs

Taking all my dogs through the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme Puppy to Gold
Competed in Agility, Flyball, Obedience and Heelwork to Music - in which I represented
Paws n Music at Crufts Dog Activities for 2 years in the HTM Dog Dancing arena.

I trained a puppy for a local school, during which time the Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit, it was lovely to see how excited the school children were to meet her and show their puppy - which was awarded the KC Puppy Rosette Pass by the Duchess herself it was a bonus for me to meet and shake hands with her as well. The puppy got up to a KC Silver Pass before I finished the training.

Another school asked if I would give a career school talk which was a great challenge - I loved it and made it fun for the children.
 
Having been a dog trainer since 2005 - need I say more, other than I enjoy it all immensely
