Behaviour and Dog Training

About Me

My name Sarah Tuck and I have grown up with and owned dogs for over 30 years.
The first dog I owned with my husband was Sodah, a border x lakeland terrier and it was thanks to her feisty, workaholic nature that I became serious about dog training.  We have rescued a number of dogs along the way, and it is because of my fear reactive dog Kali, that I developed my knowledge and understanding of reactive dogs and behaviour.  As part of this, I am currently undertaking an Advanced diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour (Canine) and have also been working 

trainers such as Kamal Fernandez and Di Martin as part of their MARKA dog training mentorship.

I only every use positive reinforcement when working with dogs and use science based, effective methods that are fun, kind and successful.

I have been competing properly in agility since 2012 and my first three dogs have gone to the highest level at KC which is Grade 7 and made a number of finals including the British Open semi final at KCIAF, (the biggest agility show in the world!)  Discover Dogs semi finals in London and champ finals.
My youngest dog has been competing since Easter 2022 and is currently in grade 4.

I am a first class agility club instructor and have been teaching since 2016 to a wide range of dog breeds and owners and am passionate about developing the bond between you and your dog, whatever your end goal is!

When I am not out working on my field, in all of my spare time(!) I teach music part time at secondary level and have been qualified since 2004.  I have worked in
a wide range of schools which has been an important part of my development as a dog trainer and agility instructor.

I have qualified with MARKA dog training and am now a MARKA scholar and excited to see where the journey with this organisation takes me.  You can find out more @ https://trainwithmarka.com/
