Mrs. Tracey Berridge, BSc (hons), MSc, M.A.P.D.T. 00671 Puppy Gurus North Devon’s Dog Training, Behaviour and Education Centre.
I work for all the local veterinary practices doing behaviour work
(advice and one-to-one), puppy parties and clinics. I run over
20 dog training classes (clicker training and target) each week at
the Centre, and am very active in local schools promoting
responsible dog ownership and prevent-a-bite. The Centre also
offers educational workshops, aggression workshops, livestock
workshops and “before you get your puppy” talks. A new wing of
the Dog Centre is Dogs Helping Kids (D.H.K.) which was set up to
help promote the unique bond between dogs and children. I also
work with troubled teenagers using positive dog training methods
(both theory and hands on), introducing them to different breeds
(most of which they have never seen before), and teaching them about
how to work with problem dogs using non-violent methods. This
helps them reflect on their own behaviour and how it affects those
around them. Tel: 01271-890941 Callanish, Eastacombe, Barnstaple North Devon, England EX31 3NXEmail: tracey@tberridge.fsnet.co.uk
