Experience: Canine Partners

I worked at Canine Partners in West Sussex as an advanced trainer of assistance dogs.

I trained dogs to assist people with physical disabilities, including people using wheelchairs. I used professional training methods, including clicker training, to train dogs to learn complex tasks.

I then matched dogs with suitable clients and passed on the necessary dog handling skills to clients during intensive training courses.

I gained extensive experience of training dogs of various retrieving breeds:

Labrador Retrievers
Golden Retrievers
Flat coated Retrievers
Labradoodles
Goldendoodles

Media

I was also involved in several media projects at Canine Partners including demonstrations and interviews for TV, Radio and Newspapers:

Interview (BBC Radio Sussex)
Training demo (Korean TV)
Interview / demo (West Sussex County Times)
Interview / demo (Midhurst and Petworth Observer)
Training demo (various University film projects)
