Niamh grew up lucky enough to have family pets, which only furthered her love for dogs and the ability to proudly advocate for the health and welfare of canines.
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. Consistency is key.
I have nearly 10 years experience across various sectors in the dog industry from dog grooming, dog training and working with ethical dog breeders in Ireland and Europe as well as working for a Field Trial kennel in Belgium (working gundogs).
My dog training education is with QQI, Pact, School Of Canine Science and Micheal Shikashio and I also have exams done with the Kennel Club & FCI. I am always furthering my education by regularly attending seminars and workshops. I have a huge amount of experience with a wide variety of breeds and different temperaments.
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. My life revolves around my two Flat Coat Retrievers and a Portuguese Water Dog.
I am a proud supporting member of The Association of Pet Dog Trainers Ireland (APDTI) & the Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants (IAABC).
