UNA
Owner and Dog Trainer
Una is a qualified and insured dog trainer with numerous years of experience helping hundreds of humans and their dogs understand one another and live happily together. She is a memeber of various organisations who vet their members and ensure best practice.
Una grew up around large dogs. Her grandmother owned three Rottweilers. Una spent long summers swimming and playing with these three dogs and she credits this with sparking her love of dogs.
The signs of her future career were present from early on. As a child, she would pretend her German Shepherd Rottweiler mix was a pony and taught her beloved pet how to jump obstacles around the garden.
These days, she has a German Shepherd called Sheba. Una is committed to constant learning in order to offer the best possible service to her clients but also the best possible life for her own dog.
Una has broadened her skill set through training with some of the world’s best canine behaviour and training providers. She is committed to positive reinforcement and training with kindness, compassion and in a lasting manner.
Una believes in the importance of scientifically proven, kind and humane training. This guides her continual learning. Una has taken a wide range of courses including level 5 behaviour professional. She is especially passionate about Scentwork.
