Andy Garner

I’m Andy Garner, a fully qualified dog trainer based in Lincolnshire, offering one-to-one training and support for dogs and their owners.

I’m a Certified Dog Trainer through the Dog Training College and a member of the Guild of Dog Trainers. I’ve also completed specialist training in areas including recall, scentwork and canine body language, and I’m continuing my professional development through the Victoria Stilwell Academy.

My approach is ethical, force-free and reward-based. I believe dogs learn best when they feel safe, understood and motivated. Rather than using punishment or intimidation, I look at why a behaviour is happening and work with the individual dog, using positive reinforcement, play, enrichment and practical training to help them succeed.

I support owners with a wide range of training needs, including loose lead walking, recall, reactivity, puppy and adolescent training, confidence building, engagement and everyday behaviour challenges. I also have a particular interest in terriers and understanding the natural behaviours and instincts that can sometimes make them a little more challenging to live with!

Every dog is different, so my training is tailored to the individual dog and their family. My aim isn’t simply to teach commands ,it’s to help owners understand their dogs better, build confidence and create a relationship based on trust, communication and positive experiences.

Positive, reward-based training tailored to your dog.
