Waggy Tails Dog
Training Centre was started in February 2001 by Sheena Stebbing K.C.A.I (CD) who is the Chief
Instructor and deals with the behaviour problems. All of the instructors at
Waggy Tails take part in an on-going training program, which involves attending
monthly trainers sessions to cover all aspects of dog training. This is to
ensure that all Instructors, although they have different personalities, train
using the same method. Sheena has been instructing dog training classes for over 15
years, Sheena has attended many dog training courses, health
seminars, lectures & workshops, Sheena achieved her KCAI (Kennel Club
Accredited Instructor in Companion Dogs) in October 2006. Sheena also runs
mentoring sessions for KCAI members working towards Accreditation, and is
training to become an assessor for the scheme.
Sheena is assisted by 6 other instructors: Judith Graham, Lucy Robinson, Lisa Allen, Sonya Remblance, Carolyn Wheatly & Sid Stebbing.

Waggytails uses positive training methods, which basically means we use tit-bits & toys as lure - reward. Therefore a bag of tasty treats cut up small & a non squeaky toy are essential training aids. All dogs at Waggytails are worked on flat normal collars, we do not allow choke chains or half checks to be used, as they are not conducive to our methods of training. A harness may be worn, however you will also need a collar on your dog at all times. A flexi lead is not suitable to train your dog in a class situation, a 6 foot training lead is best.
