In 2014 the passion of training and helping others pushed Simon & Karina to set up Canine Advisory Ltd. It soon becomes clear this was the right way forward; it enabled them to offer the service to their standards. With Karina on-board and her training skills canine advisory ltd soon become one of the leading providers in dog day care and training. Our home  boarding service soon became full, and people were booking months in advance. This helped us see the need to offer a larger service but with the same standards we want, our passion for this standard is clear for all to see, we will NOT change this level for anyone. If we have to say no to a dog so other dogs get this level of service then we will.

Karina continues with her studying and has successfully completed  canine psychology courses, along with many other courses. Her knowledge and deeper understanding of the dog’s mind have enabled her to want to be more involved with designing A canine advisory training course that will be offered initially to all the staff, as she is an advocate for CPD for everyone. Canine advisory Ltd works closely with Anglian Ruskin university. Writtle. Offering their students work placement and apprenticeships. We also work with local schools including Chelmer Valley, Boswells and more recently working with BEP group work experience offering students the experience working with dog obedience training  dog training.

Simon had been working and training dogs for many years, as a young child he started training the family dog to perform tricks and this natural ability grew and grew throughout the years. Since leaving school Simon went on to become an operations manager within a large security company, his role was overseeing their dog section and procedures whilst training their staff. From here he then moved on very quickly to become a police dog handler as  his love of dogs and training grew, in this role Simon gained many new and old skills to a very high standard (ACPO). Throughout the years the passion for helping others with their dog proved to become more of a vision for the future. Simon has trained 100s of dogs for all types of people including several celebs along the way. Since 2010 when simon left the constabulary he has focused on opening a training service that provides the quality and knowledge gained from his lifelong skills. No dogs are the same, being able to offer a service with flexible time slots and space was key to providing the level of service he wanted.

In 2011 Simon went back to work for a private company as a dog education & enforcement officer for Enfield council. This was a challenging role based in Enfield police station working with the safer parks team and other police officers. Simon’s role was to engage with the dog owners and educate them. Simon started several public training classes in the local parks which was funded  by Enfield (see below) this was to help others I the way they looked after their dogs. Things moved quickly onto helping gang members who owned aggressive dogs to understand more through positive engagement, his approach was positive with great results. Dog training was given to 100s of people throughout the borough with many one to ones to get the right results for that owner & dog. Whilst dealing with this part of his role he became the center of information within the station. With his knowledge and understanding of the law & dogs he guided the police through the right channels to obtain warrants and even help. Execute them with the status dog units.

This led to attending Westminster briefings on the dangerous dog’s act and courses on identification on section 1 type breeds. With his knowledge increasing it was time to put that to good use. Simon then developed a training program for the police to give them more awareness when they were dealing with aggressive / section 1 type dogs. After two years back with the police simon decided that he had to move on as he could not progress any further. Canine advisory Ltd approached greenfield housing and ran courses for them teaching their employees how to be safe around dogs and key elements to watch out for when visiting their clients. Canine advisory Ltd moved on to provide training for children and staff in schools, this training was easily tailored to meet its customers’ needs through vast knowledge at hand.
