About Niamh

In dog training it is important to focus on solutions and keep things simple for dog owners so that they can see lasting results for their puppies & dogs. I heavily focus on the owners skills also as we need a good skill set to train our puppies & dogs.

I have nearly 10 years experience across various sectors in the dog industry. My dog training education is with QQI, Pact, School Of Canine Science, Micheal Shikashio & more! I have a huge amount of experience with a wide variety of breeds, different temperaments and have great, almost innate dog handling skills.

I am a dog trainer that practices what I preach. I have trained and handled my flat coat retriever, who has won multiple best of breeds, multiple group placings, a group 8 (gundogs) winner, Crufts qualified for life in 2021 then became an Irish Show Champion in 2022 and International Champion in 2023. I also have a huge passion for all things gundog training & gundog breeds. I lived in Belgium for a while working and training gundogs & gundog puppies. I have also been lucky enough to whelp & raise puppies that have gone on to compete in various disciplines in the dog world in Europe, UK & America as well as pet homes.

The health, welfare and ethical breeding of dogs is hugely important to me. I have another dog who is from a puppy farm. He is a Poodle mix and he is a big part of the reason why I am a huge advocate for the regulation of every aspect of the dog industry in Ireland.

I am a proud supporting member of The Association of Pet Dog Trainers Ireland (APDTI) & the Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants (IAABC).
