To ensure that she is fully up to date with current knowledge and methods about Canine Behaviour and Training, Pauline regularly attends seminars and workshops on everything from aggression to clicker training

All Dog Trainers at PWDTS use Pauline's Principles of Training which emphasise the use of Kind, Fair and Effective methods. To reinforce this ethical stance the dog trainers are each independently assessed by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). She is also a member of the APDT, No 00744 and has previously been the Committee Secretary and an Assessor for them.

As well as her experience in training dogs professionally, Pauline has always lived with dogs, growing up with a Basset Hound and Golden Retrievers and more recently Border Collies and Working Sheepdogs. She has owned rescue dogs and rehomed dogs as well as those acquired as a puppy. Currently she lives in Worcestershire with two working sheepdogs. She competes in agility with both her dogs. On this solid basis Pauline has developed some very successful principles of training.


Pauline is now offering the benefit of her qualifications, experience and principles in a range of dog training and behaviour solutions in the Worcestershire area.
