Meet the Trainer

Hi I'm Danielle Tree and I'm the head trainer at Guildford Dog School. Also pictured are my two best friends, thirteen year old Loulabelle and twelve year old Pixie. I have had Loula from eight weeks old, so I have been through all of the new puppy ownership challenges. Whilst I know it can be full of ups and downs, I can't tell you what I would give to rewind time and be able to do it all over again with her. Thirteen years has flown by and although we have shared endless adventures and happiness together, it is never enough.

Pixie bounced into my life at thirteen months old. Full of joy and mischief, this little poodle really tested my training capabilities! I learnt so much through working with her, having a rescue dog is so rewarding. I train agility with both of them and compete when I have time. I also have four lovely cats and five hilarious ducks.

As well as being a fully qualified member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers, I am also a member of the Pet Professional Guild, a Gold member of the Pet Professional Network and a Tug-e-nuff Partner. I have over twenty-four years experience of working with dogs. My first weekend job was at a local boarding kennels, cattery and grooming parlour at just thirteen years old.

My own dog walking company - Field of Fun - is seventeen years old and I offer grooming. I also work a few afternoons a week in a Guildford veterinary practice. I absolutely love running my training classes! Seeing all of the owners and puppies develop and improve on their journey is unbelievably rewarding. It's safe to say I've had a lifetime surrounding myself with my passion and this training school is a huge part of that. I look forward to meeting you and your new best friend soon.
