Advanced Junior Trainer High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

Toni has recently joined our team as an accredited dog trainer with over 10 years experience training & walking dogs, bringing with her years of experience working with rescue dogs from Hungary Hearts Dog Rescue.   This has given her experience to work with ex-street dogs, helping to rehabilitate them and working through various behavioural issues.  

​

Toni lives with 4 dogs of her own on a large property with access to over 35 acres of secure land and paddocks, along with 3 resident retired horses and a day-care facility where she can train around other dogs and utilise the indoor training space when it's closed.

 

Nearby there are woodland walks, local pubs and shops to help with training in various locations.  Toni is able to take dogs onto public transport and train in central London and London dog parks, so is a popular choice for dogs who need to learn in busy environments

​

Toni is also able to take on dogs with separation anxiety who aren't crate trained as she is at home most of the time.

​

Toni is committed to continuing her education, undertaking courses and learning from the top experts in the industry to keep up to date with the latest science backed dog training methods.  She is passionate about reward based training and utilises toys, treats, games and praise to ensure your dog enjoys their stay and learns effectively whilst maintaining high welfare standards
