Hi, I'm Angie,
Qualifications: I hold a Diploma in Canine Behaviour & Training, as well as being Scotland's only Certified Control Unleashed Instructor. I'm also a certified Puppy Start Right Instructor, through Karen Pryor Academy, and I'm a Practising Member of the National Institute for Canine Ethics, and UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter.
Over the years, I kept saying I'd love to work with animals, having lived with, and trained, Collie crosses, and other breeds, but the time just never seemed right. Then I got Bailey (the crazy one!), and Oskar (the baby) and finally, Zac (the terrified distinguished gentleman) rescue dog...and the rest is quite literally history! Oskar & Bailey were angels, as puppies.
Then came adolescence, along with forgotten recall, chasing cars, nipping and herding things, and generally misbehaving in all the ways a Border Collie can! This led me to finally complete my studies, and dedicate my life to helping others with all things 'living with a collie'.
My training follows Leslie McDevitt's Control Unleashed principles, together with science-backed, positive reinforcement based training. These principles create a unique set of skills and behaviours to allow dogs to feel more relaxed, in any situation.

“Angela, you're obviously going to know I'm crying, happy tears again! Massive improvement with these two. Without your help I'd still be in a mess, thank you so much.”

"My dog gets distracted at dogs barking at her from behind a fence. I used the 1,2,3 game to keep her focused and it went really well. Training really works”
