About Me

Damian spent 17 years with Guide Dogs and has worked with various assistance dog charities and trained several dogs for clients with Autistic children. His interest in dog behaviour led him to complete a Diploma in Canine Assistance studies and is now accredited to the Canine and Feline Behavioural Association (CFBA). In 2008 set up his own Dog Behaviour and Training Services business and has since formed excellent working relationships with a large number of Veterinary Practices across Cheshire and Manchester which demonstrates the respect and confidence industry professionals have in his advice. He is also recognised as a Master Trainer with the Guild of Dog Trainers.

Andrea joined the team in January 2021 as Office and Site Manager. She helps coordinate all appointments and training classes and is involved in the Website development and social media content as well as business development. If she’s not in the office answering your calls and emails, you may find her down at the training school on her tractor maintaining the training paddocks for the trainers and our clients!

Rebecca has been working with Damian for over five years. Becky offers 1:1 sessions and teaches all classes for Damian, they include: puppy classes, beginners classes, intermediate and reactive dog classes. She has completed a course in canine care and behaviour with the CIDBT and is about to complete her Level 6 Diploma in Applied Canine Behaviour Management with the same organisation meaning that she will soon be qualified to work as a behaviourist. Becky owns three dogs (two lurchers & a black labrador retriever). All her dogs are rescues, this is something that Becky is passionate about and in owning dogs who had problems, she has gained a lot of valuable, first hand experience, in helping to rehabilitate dogs. Becky trains her labrador as a working gun dog and to that end can help owners who want to begin this journey with their own dog. Becky’s other passion is multi-day hiking with her dogs. She has completed many expeditions in Scotland and the Lake District with her dogs and is keen to help owners to teach their dogs how to be successful hiking companions.
