She has been involved in dog training for many years, training young dogs and dealing with some behavioural issues arising from previous neglect and poor treatment of rescue dogs. She advocates the positive reinforcement training approach to building a successful relationship with your dog.
Ellie has been volunteering for Laxey Dog Club since 2023, and has really enjoyed running the small dog puppy training classes, and the intermediate training classes. She has loved meeting new puppies and their owners, and watching their bond and relationship develop over the weeks.
