Jayne - Rehabilitation Trainer

Jayne began training dogs over 30 years ago with her first German Shepherd who had extreme behavioural problems - this began her interest in the interaction between dogs, owners and society. Jayne lives in the Forest of Dean with her 6 dogs, and after completing her BSc with a 2.1 she went on to study canine psychology and now keeps up-to-date by going to a variety of behaviour and training CPD days. She now offers a range of fun classes, including Agility, Fly Ball and the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme, and one-to-one training. Jayne visits Behavioural Referrals with her stooge dogs primarily to work with dogs with behavioural problems towards other dogs.
