I started Dog House Blues in 2018 upon my retirement as a police dog trainer. During my police service, I spent approximately 25 years either handling or being involved in the training and selection of police dogs.

In 2004 I qualified as a police dog trainer and shortly afterwards took up a role as a full-time police dog trainer within a training department. During this period I trained adult dogs and puppies that went on to become operational police dogs.

Before retirement, I was instrumental in setting up and running the Police Puppy Scheme. My training ethos is based on positive reinforcement. I am Canine First Aid trained, fully insured and have completed a Scent Work UK level 1 training course.
