About Lynne
Lynne first became interested in Dog Training when she took on an adult dog that came with "baggage". Aggression to people and other dogs, destructiveness, separation anxiety, hyperactivity and a "bad attitude" were just a few of the problems that she inherited. It took a lot of work to turn that dog around, but he became her inspiration and she has never looked back.
That was a long time ago and she now dedicates her life to helping others with similar problems.
She continues to learn more on a daily basis and feels that there will always be new techniques and theories to add to her dog training "tool box". Lynne and her team have yet to discover a dog that they can not help, and take pride in the fact that they can match any dog and owner combination to a suitable training method which both can understand.
Lynne's Pack

Kane - brindle Staffie x Labrador - the inspiration
A "problem dog" originally, Kane became Dog Borstal's number 1 "stooge dog". Lynne discovered that once his behaviour had been modified he then needed extra mental stimulation. This came in the form of Working Trials which is a dog sport. Not a natural, Kane did well and competed until he was nearly 9 years old. Qualifying through numerous stakes he then retired from competition although trains regularly to keep his mind and body active. He is regularly used as a distraction when working with aggressive or over excited dogs.

Zeke - German Shepherd x Labrador
Zeke was bought as a puppy and trained from day one with Working Trials, demonstrations and stooging in mind. Zeke is extremely "high drive" which means he has to do something mentally and physically stimulating otherwise he would be a nightmare pet. He is regularly competing and doing very well despite Lynne not spending enough time on his training due to commitments elsewhere. He is a great dog who is always willing to please although can be extremely sensitive at times.
Alice - Rottweiller
Lynne always said that she would never have three dogs, never have a bitch and would only have X breeds - then along came Alice! Being fostered by someone training at her school, she needed a home. She has a fantastic temperament and is a shining example of the breed. There are no plans to do dog sports with her, however she is trained regularly to prevent unwanted behaviours from appearing.
