Kerry on the beautiful Southwest coast of Ireland and began training his own dogs at home as a teenager, always very keen to observe and understand each dog's behaviour and appreciate their perspective of the world. Brian's father worked as an animal nutritionist and his maternal grandfather was very involved in the Irish show dog world (Kerry Blue Terriers were his 'one and only' breed), so it's no wonder Brian developed a keen interest in animal behaviour and welfare from a very young age. Brian has been training dogs (and their humans) for over thirty years. While working as a teacher in the UK for many years, specialising in supporting adults with learning difficulties and disabilities, Brian continued training dogs-and their humans-during the evenings and weekends. In 2010, due to the demand for his varied obedience and socialisation training classes alongside his passion for helping 'dogs with difficulties,' Brian decided to take the plunge and started working full time with dogs. In addition to meeting people and their dogs on a 1:1 basis, Brian also runs varied obedience and socialisation training sessions. He's an assessor with a charity at the forefront of community-based Animal Assisted Therapy across the UK-and works closely with several rescue centres in East Sussex. Brian has four dogs living at home: a Belgian Malinois, a Rottweiler and two Labradors.Brian's mission is to help you get the most out of your relationship with your family dog and vice versa. This positive approach to training and behaviour will help forge strong bonds - based on friendship, mutual understanding and respect - and will give you a very valuable insight into your dog's perspective of the world. A comprehensive dog training guide, LoveK9 also includes a section on problems you may encounter with your dog ... and provides interesting and effective solutions.view less
