About

BPSCA, BIPDT, DTIA

I first met David during a John Rogerson course, where I was a student and he was an assistant instructor. As a retired police officer, I initially expected David to employ strict methods for training. However, I quickly learned that whilst he maintains an exceptionally high standard, he achieves it through kind, fun, and highly effective techniques.

Any canine who works with David quickly adores him, vying eagerly for his attention while flawlessly executing his commands whether it’s a simple fetch or a complex scent problem. Their enthusiasm is evident in their wagging tails as they tackle each task with exuberance.

David has been instrumental in teaching me how to harness the drive in working dogs and how to motivate companion dogs with lower drive. His support, guidance and patience with my many questions have been crucial to my development. I am so grateful for his ongoing mentorship, as I would not be where I am today without it.

During a four-day aggression seminar, I had the pleasure of meeting Michael, who graciously invited me to observe his thriving training school and learn about competitive agility and obedience. He introduced me to his extraordinary wife Kate and together, they generously continue to impart their extensive knowledge of competition agility, obedience, behavioral work and all things related to such endeavors. Whether it be equipment to use or supplements to add or how to run your business they are always there with advice or guidance.

Michael and Kate have taught me many of the techniques they use to train both their own and their students’ dogs to compete at the highest levels. Their constant support and guidance continue to be instrumental in my journey, helping to shape me into the canine professional I am today. They have not only shared their knowledge, but also their friendship, kindness, and often their home and beloved dogs.

I am deeply grateful for their presence in my life. Their patience with my countless questions has been invaluable, enabling me to achieve my many goals.
