Trainers & their dogs

Daventry dog training club's trainers have years of experience in dog training and dog care.

Clare with Sarge and Duke

Hi my name is Clare and here's a bit about me and my boys I have been owned by dogs for the last 16 years but took a serious interest in being a dog training instructor 10 years ago and love it. My biggest passion is everything about dogs, especially training dogs...and their owners :) my favourite breed is the GSD Both my dogs are rescue dogs Duke is a black & tan GSD who I got at 7 months old. He was quite a handful and was also dog aggressive but after lots of hard work turned into a fabulous dog, I also found out he had kidney disease when i re homed him and was told I would lose him at 1yrs old but he's still going strong at 5 yrs and hopefully for many more! Duke loves obedience training and has doggy OCD lol.....especially for his ball. Sarge is a blue/tan GSD x possibly akita who I rehomed at 12 weeks. He was extremely nervous even at that age as he & his litter mates had a tough start in life and he would scream if I even touched his collar and would growl and bark at everyone and everything including me! He is now 4years old and has gained lots of confidence, he's a fab boy who loves his tricks and agility. I presently instruct the puppy class. Sadly since writing this Duke has passed over to the bridge RIP Dukey x Jaxon a GSD puppy has now joined the Gwilliam household :)

Hi I am Jan, the former secretary of the club and former Advanced Class trainer (now retired), but still there to help out if needed. I own three boxers Biff, Darcey and Betty. I have had Biff and Darcey from eight weeks of age, and Betty from 7 months old. Biff and Darcey have their gold Kennel Club Award and Betty has her Silver. Biff is a bit of a celebrity having appeared as the trampolining boxer in an iconic christmas advert 2016.
