Linda is lovely, & so knowledgeable. She trains you so gently & kindly when sometimes you might be being a bit daft. She made such an effort at the Fun day I went to, it was amazing. So many extra activities on top of the Scentwork. More...

Always friendly always helpful. Offers many different groups and workshops tailored to different needs in different breeds. Linda has made such a difference to myself and my dogs, I cannot thank her enough for all the help and support we have had and continue to get. I ( and my very high maintenance cocker spaniels ) couldn’t recommend her highly enough! More...

After attending Scentwork, I can highly recommend the course. Linda is engaging, and has a zest for teaching what she knows. My dogs are very grateful I learned some new skills! More...

We’ve done a few workshops with Linda and she was very patient and sweet with my nervous girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

My dogs have been training with Linda for a few years now, both in general classes and doing Scentwork and I cant rate her highly enough. Its always a fun environment both for humans and canines. More...

I have known Linda for about 5 years now, both in her capacity as an instructor at Cadelac dog training, and through her brilliant scentwork classes. Whatever we are doing Linda makes it not only informative and instructional but also great fun. She is highly knowledgable, kind and caring, and has a deep understanding of dogs and their behaviour, and is very accepting of their different personalities, needs and quirks. I only wish that I lived close enough to Linda to make use of her dog walking/ visiting services - there is no one I would rather have to care for my dog. More...

Cannot thank Linda enough for helping my nervous border collie Arthur and I through scent work and dog training classes. Arthur and I discovered scent work with Linda two years ago and found her teaching ability, knowledge of dogs and scent work as well as her gentle nature to be the reason we love scent work so much! Arthur and I are now in the process of preparing for our scent work handler accredition for which Linda has given us so much help and support. Some of the best photos I have of Arthur have been taken by Linda as a momento of our scent work adventure. Linda has also helped us with our dog training and has always respected Arthur being both a working breed and a nervous nature. Linda is a very compassionate trainer as well as kind hearted; Arthur loves Linda and is always very excited to see her! We can not recommend her enough More...

Linda is a great dog handler & trainer. Both my dogs & I enjoy Scentwork training, & have attended other dog training classes with her. If we lived close enough, I would love Linda to be our dog walker on work days. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Spending time with animals, either training, walking or photographing them, oh and their humans of course :) I also love to see how quickly the dogs learn and progress. It's a joy to help them learn and overcome any difficulties they may have.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My parents, who were breeders, a local rescue I used to volunteer at., and all the many dog related courses, workshops and expert speakers i have been to and seen.
Why should our clients choose you?
I use only reward based methods and look at each dog individually, and try most of all to build on the owner/dog relationship. I aim to help owners teach their dogs the skills they need for daily life, and help them learn to relax, feel confident, and become more responsive towards their owners. I have many years of study and qualifications in dog training and behaviour, and am first aid trained and fully insured.
Having owned several reactive dogs, and a wolfdog, I am experienced in the not so easy to train dogs and dogs with special needs, so I can totally empathize when owners are struggling with issues.
I know dogs (and humans) can't learn when they are stressed so a huge part for me is making training relaxing, fun and productive for everyone :)
