About Me

 

 

 

Hi, my name is Katy Renny. You can find me on Facebook.

 

I am a qualified Behavioural Trainer and have over ten years of practical experience working with dogs.

​

As a signatory of the Registration Council for Dog Trainers and Behaviour Practitioners; and a supporting member of Qualified International Dog Training Instructors, I abide by the Companion Animal Welfare Council code of practice.

 

I started working with dogs at the grass roots, as a dog walker. It began when I got my own dog, Bonnie, and a friend asked me if I would walk her dog too, on a professional basis. That seems like a lifetime ago now. And it goes deeper than that, as my childhood was enriched with a numerous, assortment of family dogs.

​

It planted the seed. The dog walking business flourished and opened my eyes to the wonderful world of working with dogs. I wanted to explore more and so embarked on a practical course with a highly knowledgeable and experienced dog trainer. He has shared the art of pet dog training with me and taught me to instruct. I have been instructing owners in puppy training and dog training since 2014, and helping them to overcome behaviour problems with their dogs.

​

My practical, reward based dog training experience is backed up with continued professional development and study. I have an academic qualification in Applied Animal Behaviour - Distinction (Canine - Advanced Diploma) and have attended residential courses, workshops and seminars, including True2Life Dog Training and Behaviour, and the Canine Instructors' Academy, gaining further diplomas, I also do voluntary work with dogs at Rescue Centres at home and abroad.
