About Kelly

My love of dog training began when I rescued my first puppy, a 8 week-old Jack Russell called Walnut, and enrolled in a Puppy School course. I have always loved dogs, but it was having Walnut in my life which really sparked my interest in dog training and behaviour. Classes were great fun and we both learnt a lot.

Since then, I have rescued another puppy; a mixed breed called Bailey (also a Puppy School graduate) and began volunteering at my local Puppy School, I then trained and qualified as a Puppy School tutor myself. I train both of my dogs in agility and in February 2017 was asked to join the training team at my club, which I absolutely love. In June 2022 I bought the agility club and now run it as head trainer.

I am passionate about puppies getting the best start in life and people developing a great relationship with their new puppy. Only positive reward-based training is used which helps to build that bond and trust between you and your canine friend.

Classes are relaxed and all the family is welcome to come along to learn and have fun.
Puppy School Swale covers Sheerness, Minster on Sea, Eastchurch, Sittingbourne, Leysdown on Sea, Faversham, Rainham, Gillingham and more...
