Sheepdog trainers around SE Wales & the west?

[Chasingmytail]

Ive been let down and fed up of chasing someone that had the dog booked in. She is getting older now however she does listen to commands but I need someone to confirm whether there is hope or not. I have never worked a dog and the other half just rants & swears - so we both also need training.

I have searched the web and can find no one around this area. Happy to go down south West. South Wales and that's it. Someone that will Board dog for a number of weeks.

Anyone help me?

Sorry, misread the title and thought you were after a pair of Reebok's for the dog

We call them pumps or daps not trainers here in Wales!

+1 Paul Tomkins. When we were too busy over winter to be training and one of dads dogs had flicked switch in its brain and was desperate to work we sent it to him for 5 weeks and the difference when he came back was great !

I know and have used Paul. Good people.

Paul had our bitch for four weeks, came back no better.

I now know no one can make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

I contacted Paul Tompkins a few weeks ago and he said he doesn't do it???? There is nothing on his website to indicate he's not training for others anymore but I also emailed and he didn't respond. Perhaps he's no longer doing it? Can anyone confirm this?

So annoying I emailed and left voice mail for him but he didn't reply and wasn't helpful when I asked if he know anyone?????

I know Paul did have a health scare so maybe his health isn’t so good.....

Sorry sorry....I'm getting confused now as I contacted a few and I think I emailed this chap. I didn't speak to him. I'm getting confused, I need to contact him. Thanks
