1-to-1 Advice

If you would prefer to have 1-to-1 advice on behavioural problems or training, then you cannot do better than to seek the advice of one of the local members of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers.) www.apdt.co.uk

You can find Local Dog Trainers through the menu on the left side of their home page (leading to our 3 local members, David McFarlane, Robin Bates and Michael McCartney.)
