About
Helen Johnson-Breddy
Having grown up loving and living with dogs it was always a dream to have a dog of my own. After several years working in the ski travel industry, along came Douglas. He was not the easiest puppy to handle and the research and training I did for him fuelled the passion to work with other dogs and their owners.
Now based in Filton, I offer in-person training and group classes in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire area, as well as remote training for those further afield.
I have completed my Level 3 accreditation in Learning, Motivation and Reinforcement, and am a qualified member of the
Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT).
My training encompasses positive reinforcement techniques and force free methods, ensuring the dogs needs and interests are at the forefront to maximise their potential and have fun whilst doing it!
I am always eager to continue my understanding of how dog learn and how we can harness their qualities to live happy lives together.

Douglas
Douglas is the main reason behind me wanting to start a career in dog training. He came to us during lockdown in October 2020 at 9 weeks old. Despite seeming like a loving and well rounded litter, it became apparent he perhaps didn't have the best upbringing before coming to us and I now know the long-lasting effect those early stages can have on a dog's life.
He was a very anxious pup so we set about socialising him as best we could from then, as well as seeking training and doing our own research to overcome his difficulties. Through this I became fascinated by the positive reinforcement techniques to not only teach dogs how we want them to behave, but also to overcome fears, anxieties and difficulties they may have through no fault of their own.
