Peter has been training dogs for some 40 years and started at the age of 17. The writing was on the wall for Peter’s future when his first dog a Springer Spaniel dog named “Chris” was placed 3rd in his first competition, and soon helped Peter reach “B” standard in Obedience.

Peter by now had been truly “bitten” by dog training, and travelled up and down the country to competitions. By going on various obedience courses he became one of the youngest trainers to obtain his “Advanced Training Certificate”.

As a judge Peter has worked “B” championship shows and “C” at open shows. Hazelgrove Dog Training Club, Manchester, approached Peter and asked him to become joint Head Trainer, a position he subsequently held for twelve years.

Peter moved to Scotland in the 80s and decided to take a break from dog training. However, it was not long before his skills were in demand again. The need for someone to help owners and their dogs was becoming obvious.

Peter decided to offer help, by training on a one to one basis. As word of success of this type of training spread, it was not long before a hall became available in North Berwick and one of Peter’s private clients asked him to start a training club.

Peter now runs three clubs, Edinburgh, Penicuik and Musselburgh.

Private Lessons in which he deals with a variety of problems ranging from aggressive, nervous, frightened and psychological problems to the over enthusiastic is the part of Peter’s work from which he achieves a great deal of satisfaction, helping owners and dogs alike.
