About Me
The Ogwell Dog Trainer
THE OGWELL DOG TRAINER
Caroline Gale
I have always had dogs and can’t ever remember a time without one. As a child I grew up with a Jack Russell, Springer and Golden Retriever. I always loved dogs from a very young age and my mum often tells of how she had great trouble when I was a young child, from stopping me from going up to any dogs I met in the street. In 1983 myself and my father opened a boarding kennels and cattery and I have worked with dogs ever since. I started my dog training journey in 1992 gaining a puppy instructor certificate. I am a qualified instructor and member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers which means I abide by a strict code of ethics and have been tested and assessed, not only on my theoretical knowledge but on my practical ability too. I have attended many seminars and workshops over the years and continue to attend seminars, workshops and training weekends to further my education and keep my training current.
I share my life with 5 dogs of my own. 3 patterdale/Jack Russells and 2 working cocker spaniels with whom I have done various types of training, including obedience, agility, scent, tricks and gundog. I am passionate about dog training so when I am not helping clients train their dogs I am usually at a seminar or workshop learning more about dogs and dog training.
