How our journey began…
Karen, Judy and Kieron were lucky enough to find each other fairly early on in their dog training journey. From Humble beginnings running a few small group puppy classes at their local vets, these three ladies very quickly expanded and went on to all three qualify as Companion Animal Behaviourists through COAPE SA.
At the time, there were virtually no positive reinforcement or especially clicker based training schools in Cape Town, and the concept of "force free” was then scoffed at and referred to as "the Montessori of Dog Training".
Undeterred by the resistance from the traditional dog training community, the power trio are now the first group qualified practitioners to open a successful training school and behaviour practice as a team in South Africa to date, bringing with them a gentler, more supportive, humane and science based approach to the dog\owner relationship.
Kieron, Karen and Judy also offer consults online to support clients further afield.

The best day of the week for my handful of love and barks. They completely get dogs with special needs, no judgment, no punishment, just fun and games and celebration of each small step forward.
