A Bit About Me!

Hi, I’m Pippa, a canine behaviourist and trainer, and these are my two best friends, Artemis and Lady.

I established Pippa’s Pooches at the beginning of 2018. I only use reward-based, force-free training methods, and will never recommend any aversive equipment or techniques for your dog. There are no behaviours that cannot be trained without using kindness, understanding, treats and/or toys!

I have a Foundation Degree in Applied Canine Behaviour & Training with Bishop Burton University Centre. I’m also an IMDT accredited trainer, and a certified UK Sniffer Dogs Silver Level instructor.  Other courses that I have completed include:

  • Diploma in Professional Dog Walking – Compass Education
