Verity Escott, MGODT, PPN, PPG
Advanced Senior Trainer, Littlehampton, West Sussex
Verity is one of our Advanced Senior Trainers and has been a valued member of the team for over 9 years. As well as earning her space as an Advanced Senior Trainer, she is also a Mentor Trainer for our Trainee Instructors, a member of the Guild of Dog Trainers (GODT) a Professional Member of the Pet Professional Network (PPN), a member of the Pet Professional Guild for Force Free Dog Trainers (PPG) and a Dog Training College Approved Instructor
She has a vast amount of experience working with a variety of breeds and ages of dog through our residential training programmes and specialises in small to medium sized dogs. She gets excellent results with all of the dogs that she has to stay with her for training.
Verity is passionate about reward-based training and all of her training is done using treats, toys, games and lots of praise to ensure your dog enjoys their stay and learns effectively whilst maintaining high welfare standards.
Verity only takes in 2 to 3 dogs for training at any one time, so is able to offer a more personal and exclusive training service. You'll receive plenty of photos and videos throughout your dog's training stay, putting your mind at ease that they're receiving the very best care and attention.
She offers training in her quiet, family home with her 8 year old child and 2 dogs (a Pug and a Cockapoo). This means that she is able to provide vital manners and training for dogs who need work around children. She also benefits from access to Jenny & Mike's Goats for livestock training and her children for further training around kids.
Verity is an excellent match for the most challenging dogs we get in for training, but is equally skilled at early puppy socialisation and training. She is also able to offer training for assistance dogs, teaching complex tasks and helping owners work towards achieving their access tests. She enjoys a challenge and offers a variety of woodland and beach locations for training dogs.
Verity regularly attends seminars and courses with some of the most world renowned trainers and behaviourists to help with her continued professional development.
