Louie has been training gun dogs for over 30 years since she started with her first working spaniel in 1990 and has a wealth of experience in training dogs..... and as importantly their handlers! She runs a very successful gundog training academy TRAINTHATDOG.COM which she first established near Petworth in 2001. Here she and her team provide a whole range of classes for the gundog breeds from Puppy Early Learning at 12 weeks to Championship level gundog, with lots of spaniel-only classes too. Trainthatdog now even has its very own On-Line Puppy Class for those who aren’t able to travel to classes or who prefer to work from home
Louie’s group classes are all held outdoors in small groups working in natural surroundings. Her strength is in helping owners and their dogs to achieve a rapport based on kind methods of training. Louie encourages quiet calm handling, sensitive body language and clear hand signals coupled with infinite patience and precise timing to make expert trainers from the most novice of dog handlers.
Founder Chairman of Leconfield Working Spaniel Club from 2005, now President, Louie has extensive knowledge of training and working spaniels as well as retrievers.
A regular game and clay shot for three decades, Louie is a Leconfield Estate shoot tenant and she has been running her own syndicate shoot at Petworth for 21 years. Louie is also a key member of the picking up team at a number of prestigious estates and local shoots. As well as competing in field trials at the Championship level, she is a Kennel Club Official B Panel Field Trial Judge
