Dog Activity Spot is owned and run by me, Dorothea Lambert; I am a qualified and professional dog trainer, behavioural trainer and activity instructor and I am a fully approved instructor with ADTB (Academy for Dog Training and Behaviour), a fully accredited dog trainer with PACT (Professional Association of Canine Trainers) as well as a registered animal training instructor with ABTC (Animal Behaviour and Training Council) and a proud member of the PPG (The Pet Professional Guild - The Association for force free pet professionals). As an accredited member of PACT, I have been taught, assessed and accredited for my ability to fully demonstrate Animal Training Instructor skills as set out by the ABTC. I support PACT's ethics and ethos and have signed up to their code of conduct which stipulates the use of non-aversive, ethical and effective methods only.
I live with three rescue dogs, all of whom came with their special quirks, so I fully understands, not just as a professional but personally how challenging it can be to live, manage and adjust undesired behaviour. As a member of the PPG, PACT and ABTC you can be assured that I am dedicated to force free training (no shock, no pain, no choke, no physical force nor compulsion based methods) and in my approach the welfare of your dog and the relationship between you and your dog comes always first.
