Meet the trainers

Becki Collingwood

After gaining my degree in Quantity Surveying, I found my passion for training dogs. I have had the privilege of working closely with Doberman Rescues.

I use a variety of training styles and techniques. I train at both the owners and their dog’s pace. We are trainers that understand that different breeds require different methods. I am constantly learning and researching, and I love seeing our beloved pets thrive.

I have the pleasure of owning two Dobermans. I have also trained my Female Doberman to compete in championship dog shows. It’s a work in progress. There are no quick fixes, and any training requires time, patience, and a calm space.

After 18 years in IT, I found my passion for training dogs. I have worked closely with our two Dobermans. I have helped them through fear periods, recall and loose leash walking.

I am a trainer that uses a variety of different methods & techniques to suit a variety of breeds. I am constantly learning and love seeing the progress of both owners and dogs alike.

I have had the pleasure of watching my two Dobermans grow and thrive. I have trained in handling dogs for dog shows. I have found that training isn’t instant. There are peaks and troughs, highs, and lows. Training must be at the dog’s pace and age appropriate.  I love a challenge and am excited to train your dogs.
