Waggy Tails  Dog Training Centre was started in February 2001 by Sheena Stebbing K.C.A.I (CD) who is the Chief Instructor, Sheena does all the 1 -2-1 & behavior work.  All of the instructors at Waggy Tails take part in an on-going training program, which involves attending monthly trainers meetings to cover all aspects of dog training. This is to ensure that all Instructors, although they have different personalities, train using  the same methods & commands. 

Sheena has been instructing dog training classes since 1995,  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 has began assessing for the scheme.

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.
