ME, MY DOG & MY PHILOSOPHY

Cecilia Erhabor [MSc BSc PGCE]

I coach people and their dogs towards happier and more harmonious relationships.
​
With a Master's Degree in Animal Behaviour Management and 6 years of practical experience; I combine my love of teaching with my love of dogs to coach families and their dogs to overcome a wide variety of dog behavioural/training problems. I believe in building positive relationships through proper communication and mutual understanding to raise well behaved dogs that can exist successfully within their own families and society.

​On top of that, I also compete in gundog sports with my golden retriever, Honey, and recently placed 2nd in a ND/NH Gundog Working Test. We also hope to compete in agility and (maybe) obedience.
