About Us...

I founded LEADING CANINES because of a lifelong love of dogs. In the early 1970's,while training under a German Shepherd Dog breeder and trainer who also ran an all-breeds Rescue Kennel, my passion for rescuing, rehabilitating and training dogs developed. Since then I have owned and trained many different dogs and with my G.S.D's competed successfully in both breed and obedience classes. Among these dogs were a number of rescues, most of which initially had behavioural issues due to their histories.

My strong interest in rehabilitation led me to work full time as a Behaviourlst and Trainer. As well as working with behavioural problems of all types I offer help from pre-purchase advice through to puppy and adult dog training, using humane, proven methods.

I will teach you how to lead your dog to become the balanced, happy animal he would like to be and which is so important if he is to be an acceptable member of society.
