About Us—The boring bit! |
|
We are Chrissy and Barry Gough who run Cara Dog Training personally.
Our aim is for you to enjoy your training as we believe that all pet dog owners have a duty to ensure that their dogs are well behaved and socially acceptable. Our Care And Reward Assisted training style will help you achieve this through our friendly and relaxed approach, which also helps you to bond faster with your dog! Chrissy has been training since 1990 and is a Member of the Institute for Animal Care Education (MIACE), having obtained a Distinction in her Training Coursework and Assessments. She is also an Association of Pet Dog Trainers Member (APDT 00653) and has studied a Canine Psychology Course. Barry is an Association of Pet Dog Trainers Member (APDT 00893) and an Academy of Dog Training Behaviour (ADTB) Approved Gold Level Instructor. He also deals with most of the administration as well. Our other Trainers are Karen Callaghan, an Academy of Dog Training Behaviour (ADTB) Approved Gold Level Instructor and Jacqui Watts a Student Member of the Institute of Animal Care Education. Jacqui is also studying the ADTB Training Course and both entered the world of instructing after training their pups with us which helped develop their natural enthusiasm, handling and training skills accordingly. One to One Training is available to address specific problems, or by structured courses for those unable to attend our classes. Training can be at your home or in areas of the New Forest where we also teach the importance of Recall and how to prevent your dog worrying ponies and stock. Our One to One training can also be particularly useful if your dog proves to be unsuitable for class environments, as some dogs do find the confinement and atmosphere of training halls too stressful, particularly if they have lacked early age socialisation with other dogs. Should Canine Behavioural problems concern you, Chrissy undertakes Private Consultations and Assessment and will recommend a suitable rehabilitation programme for you and your dog to follow.
Sadly, we suffered the recent losses of both our old “Demo Dog” Poppy and Tessy our other old Labrador who were both over 14 years old. They were lovely loyal dogs who have now joined their many other canine friends at Rainbow Bridge!
We now have our two Labs and Rosie is our 5 year old who you may have seen in the Andrex TV Ads— but she was 5 weeks old then! Rosie is a super dog with a wonderful temperament and personality, if a trifle stubborn at times! That's her, upper left!
To the left is little Crunchie! A truly lovely Lab bitch who joined us at New Year 2008. Chrissy is training her as our new “Demo Dog” and prejudiced we may be, but she is doing very well indeed! Crunchie recently gained both her Bronze and Silver KCGCD Awards. In case you thought it, Rosie and Crunchie are not mother and daughter who look even more alike now that Crunchie is 9 months old! Take a look at the picture of them both on our Contacts Page!
Training should be fun, so be happy with your dog and you will soon see the results!
Right, that's the end of the commercial, so on with the real stuff! Please click on the page links to the left or at bottom of your screen and we hope you enjoy our site.
