believes if we have our dogs as companions and part of the family they should be
treated that way. Karen has worked with internationally renowned Sarah Whitehead

Puppy Classes and Pet Behaviour. She also used to be a tutor for Alpha Education

behaviour councelling through out Surrey, areas of Berkshire and Hampshire. We
