About
I’m Kate Robson and I have always had a passion for dogs, loved watching their behaviours and how they interact with others.
I am a qualified Veterinary Nurse with over 25 years of experience working with animals. This extensive experience has given me the opportunity to work with a range of dog trainers and behaviourists and all manners of different breeds of dogs and their owners, whilst enabling me to observe and learn about the strong relationship between them. It was here that I began to appreciate the importance of dog training and how it directly impacts upon the quality of life, bond and relationship, not only for the dog but for the owner and families as well.
As part of my role as a Veterinary Nurse, I now run specialised nurse clinics at Larkmead Veterinary Group in Cholsey. This is where my love for dog training has developed as I have experienced first-hand how a well-trained dog is a happier one and how it reduces the possibility of behavioural problems manifesting later on in a dog's life.
I have chosen to share my expertise by offering group training classes (enabling me to target the importance of training at an early age) and individual dog 121 dog training lessons and consultancy.
I also hold the IMDT Level 3 Accredited Qualification 'Principles of Dog Training and Behaviour' , and a Dog First aid certificate. Additionally i have completed Canine Nutrition courses, an area of expertise which has enabled me to support my role of educating clients in the importance of incorporating the correct nutrition and healthy lifestyles for dogs. This has such a huge benefit for a better quality of life.
My Pet Health Councillor Award has been invaluable for providing support for clients and their dogs. Incorporating positively reinforced training into a dogs' daily routines helps to overcome a multitude of problems.
We cannot expect a dog to behave well when they have not been taught what is expected of them. This guidance needs to be learnt through clear positive training.
My Services
Group Classes
All my Puppy and Basic training classes take place at Remenham Parish Hall, located in Remham, RG93DB. During summer months, classes are held outdoors in the beautiful enclosed garden, ensuring your dog’s safety while allowing them to train off-lead without the risk of escaping. In winter, we move indoors to the Parish Hall to keep the puppies warm.
I maintain a low participant count in my group classes, with a maximum of 6 dogs per session. This approach helps each dog thrive in a focused learning environment, minimizing distractions and allowing me to provide the necessary support for successful training for both the owner and the dog. All my training sessions, whether private or group, utilize reward-based methods.
