Jane Nettleton: - HNC in Canine Behaviour and Training, Certificate in Obedience Training, Qualified Judge at Open and Championship Dog obedience Shows, Qualified Dog Groomer, Reiki Healer Part 1.

Jane is now a three-dog family. One rescued.

Jane started training dogs in 1982 her first dog was labelled nervous aggressive the smallest in the litter and very scared when collected from a local pet shop.

She turned out to be a fantastic companion and a good obedience competition dog winning lots of prizes in working class novice and A. From 1987 Jane assisted with the training at other clubs in the area before Karma Dog Training was formed. She has also run workshops on working with Bearded Collies for obedience.

Jane is still an avid obedience competitor and has two young dogs, one at present competing at Novice level the other is in the early stages of training.

Jane and Claudine have just taken up training their dogs to work sheep, an energetic new venture, all the dogs love it and training is going well. One man and his dog here we come!!!! (LOL).

Both Claudine and Jane work closely with the local R.S.P.C.A. on re-homing and rehabilitation. They also work with other local dog charities on the rehabilitation of dogs that are struggling with the transition from kennels into a new home.

They both work closely with the RSPCA and Claudine is involved with the Waifs Re-homing Scheme, which endeavours to keep dogs in their current home until a suitable replacement home is found.

Both Jane and Claudine specialise in dealing with aggressive dogs, which is an area of dog training that very few trainers will undertake.
