Linda has been offering training since the early 1980’s, initially instructing with a large public obedience club. She purchased her first dog – a Border Collie in the late 70’s and together they were awarded the prestigious honour – First Border Collie in Victoria to achieve both Australian Show Champion and Utility Obedience Dog titles.

The writing was on the wall at this early stage; working with dogs was not only Linda’s passion – it was her destiny.

Her devotion to the dog world, hunger for knowledge and hands on experience, were realised as she achieved her V.C.A. Instructor’s License. This was quickly followed by Linda being awarded Novice, Open and Utility Judges Licenses, making her a Full Panel Obedience Judge. Both Agility and Endurance Licenses were attained shortly thereafter.

A founding member of both the Border Collie Club of Victoria, and the Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Club of Victoria saw Linda’s experience expand at club management level. Having served on various committees for Breed, Obedience, Agility and Endurance for many years have rounded out her knowledge and understanding of the dog world in general.

Linda has helped thousands of dogs and their owners building strong relationships based on trust, communication and love.
