Our Trainers - Cheshire K9 Training

Heather KCAI (CD)

Kennel Club Accredited Instructor GH2150239
MAPDT 01599KC
KC Asssessor for Working Gundog Certificate

I have been training dogs for 20 years plus and before setting up Cheshire K9 training I volunteered at over 5 different training centres for nearly 10 years to gain as much knowledge as I could about different breeds and how they learn. As a trainer being able to read a dogs body language is important and I work with each dog as an individual as they are all different.

I am a Kennel Club Accredited Instructor KCAI (CD) and a fully qualified member (ATI) with the ADPT.

I compete with my own 5 dogs in Obedience, Agility and Gundog and in 2022 and 2024 made it to the Crufts finals gaining a 2nd and a 3rd place in the obedience ring competing in obreedience.

I am also a Kennel Club registered agility judge and when I am not teaching, running training camps, or competing myself I am travelling round the UK judging at shows.

Dogs are literally my work, my hobby, my life!

Marion

I am Marion and I assist with the Obedience classes. I have been training my two working cockers for the last 6 years, I have passed many Obedience assessments with them and I am working towards competition Obedience and Agility.

I am learning all the time as training methods change regularly and I have learnt so much over the last 6 years that I want to pass this on to new owners and their puppies so they can achieve and be proud of their dogs like I am of mine.

Jodie

Hi I’m Jodie I began my obedience journey with my first GSP Molly who is now retired, I loved the breed so much I decided to get another GSP Ivy who I have now trained up and is ready to compete this year at some obedience shows, she is also gundog trained although we only do this for fun.

This year I will be joining Heather in the Crufts Obreedience Finals.

I am looking forward to helping you with your dogs in our obedience classes.

Anita (Assistant Trainer)

Hi I’m Anita and I am a member at the club with my Cockerpoo Luna training in Obedience, Rally Obedience and Agility.

Luna has passed the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze and is ready for the Silver and Gold.

I have been in Cheshire K9 display teams for the last 2 years and I now assist in the Obedience classes as I wish to expand my knowledge of how dogs learn, move and think.
