Poppy and Pals - Dog Training & Walking in Maidstone and Kent
About Me

|
Hi, Im Mazzie. Im 25 years old and i live in Kent with my fiance and our ever increasing band of rescue animals. Poppy and Pals is named after my own dog Poppy and her Pals (my other 5 dogs and various other pets!), they have all taught me so very much about animal behaviour and training and i will be forever greatful to them all. I consider myself a dog behaviour student as the day i know everything about dogs will be the day i give up training. All dogs are different and any trainer who believes they know everything is sadly mistaken. I have over 10 years experience caring for and training my own rescue dogs, friends dogs and clients dogs. Qualifications I have studied a 3yr foundation degree with Bishop Burton College and i am currently studying two other courses. I have researched many canine related subjects from health issues, feeding adaquate diets and the effects training techniques can have on a dogs learning ability. My canine related library is over 250 books and dvds and is ever increasing. *********** I have always loved animals and drove my family mad with the amount of injured and stray animals i brought home to care for as a child. I had always wanted a dog but it wasnt until i was allowed to adopt my own at 16 that i discovered my love of training and behaviour. Bramble was a real challenge and for some reason (a lack of sanity maybe?) i have taken on four more and one private rehoming since. Rescue dogs are my passion, especially rescue Border collies and x's and i tend to specialise in helping to rehab nervous dogs. I have also discovered my love of sighthounds thanks to rescue Lucher Basil - i now specialise in teaching reliable recalls to many sighthounds. In my spare time I love to... *Do alot of trick training with all my dogs * Train for agility with Hebe my youngest collie (not competing yet), Dexter and Basil * Train for heelwork to music with Hebe * Train for flyball with Hebe and Dexter * Train for CaniX (cross country running) with
Ash and Poppy for fun * Jog with Basil my sighthound, well i try to jog he prefers to run! * Cuddle all of my dogs but especially Bramble who excels at it * Walk for many hours along the Kent countryside foraging with my dogs and enjoying nature ***********************
