Stuart trained and worked with police dogs for 15 years while, in his spare time, running a dog club and the demonstration team.

He teaches with "kind methods" which have led him in to the realms of dog behaviour techniques and, after 30 years' service with the police, retired and now assess and/or trains dogs full time.

He established the training centre 22 years ago and gives individual obedience lessons:

(1) Puppy Courses (Obedience & Socialisation) Obedience classes and advises on behavioural problems including sheep chasing and aggression.

(2) All behavioural help is given via a private consultation at your home. He is "very keen to advise and educate dog owners, particularly in view of the upsetting dog incidents highlighted by the media in the past."
