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.

Kate's Testimonials

  • Truly grateful to have discovered you

    Don Goodship and Maddie the Gorden Setter

    “Faced with a monumental task, training a Gorden Setter, we sought the assistance of Kate knowledge and experience. One of our better decisions, Kate was positive in her directions and advise, she was not frightened to tell us where we were going wrong and help steer us in the correct direction, extremely patient when needed. We left the classes better for it." We are so glad Kate has now set up her own, as we believe she will continue to help and support others like us in her new venture. We are so thankful."​
  • I would highly recommend her to anyone

    Kate has been so helpful to myself and Paddington. She is always positive and encouraging in her training. Paddington has come along way since seeing her. I know without Kates help I couldn’t have achieved this on my own.
    I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kates services to anyone. Thank you Kate.
