Proprietor - Joh Bryant

I began training Nelson my Golden Retriever in 2001. When he was six months old he began to limp and I found he had hip dysplasia and therefore my dreams of keeping fit with him faded. As a result I looked to trying to find training that was suitable for him and me so that we could continue having quality time learning together. His love of people meant that pets as therapy seemed like a great choice.

Nelson was an exceptional dog who had a massive impact on not only my life but lots of people that he met too. Nelson made me want to teach him more things. He loved to entertain and after achieving his gold Good Citizen’s Award we began clicker together. I wanted him to have the best life possible and know more myself about dogs.

I began my journey by enrolling on a Foundation Degree course in Canine Behaviour and Training at Bishop Burton College and have not looked back since. Abc4dogs was born in 2011 following the completion of this course and then I embarked on an honours degree which I completed in 2016.
