Hi,  I’m Kate Robson, and I’ve always had a passion for dogs. From observing their behaviours to how they interact with others, I’ve found endless fascination in understanding them better.
 

I’m a qualified Veterinary Nurse with over 25 years of experience working with animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside many experienced dog trainers and behaviourists, as well as interacting with various dog breeds and their owners. This has given me invaluable insight into the deep connection between dogs and their humans.

It was during this time that I truly recognised the importance of dog training and how it enhances the quality of life and strengthens the bond between dogs, their owners, and families.
 

As part of my role as a Qualified Veterinary Nurse at Larkmead Veterinary Group in Cholsey, I now run specialised nurse clinics. It’s here that my passion for dog training deepened, as I witnessed first-hand how a well-trained dog is a happier dog and how training early can help prevent behavioural issues in the future.

​

To share my knowledge, I now offer both group training classes - focused on the importance of early training and 1-to-1 dog training lessons and consultancy.
 

I hold the IMDT Level 3 Accredited Qualification in Principles of Dog Training and Behaviour , IMDT Qualified Puppy training instructor qualification and a Dog First Aid certificate. I am now working towards OCN NCert In Animal Behaviour - which i am thoroughly enjoying.
 

In addition, I’ve completed courses in Canine Nutrition, which has been a valuable part of my work in educating clients about the importance of proper nutrition and healthy lifestyles for their dogs. This contributes significantly to their overall well-being and quality of life.
 

I also hold a Pet Health Councillor Award, which has proven essential in providing comprehensive support to both clients and their dogs.

​

We can’t expect dogs to behave well unless they’ve been taught what’s expected of them. This requires clear, positive training that sets them up for success.
