Welcome to the KC Dog School website.

K C Dog School was founded in 1995. A Primary School teacher for 20 odd years when a life changing car accident made me decide to leave teaching and start training dogs full time.

I started training the family Labrador in 1972 at a dog club, where I noticed Border Collies and fell in love with the breed, but being a student teacher I didn't have the time or money to get one.

In 1978 after graduation, I entered a singing competition and won first prize. I used the money to buy my first Border Collie - Misty's Shadow. I started training her and then entered in competitions. She was a fantastic dog and won many awards.

She was one of the first dogs to participate in Dog Jumping when it was introduced as a sport. My second dog that I trained was a black German Shepherd, Sheba. She also won many awards.

In 1984 I became an KUSA judge in Obedience, I am now a senior judge in Obedience, Dog Jumping, Agility and Dog Carting.

Once I stopped teaching and started K C Dog School, I have studied and become an Accredited Companion Animal Behaviorist (with the ABC of South Africa). K C Dog School has grown from strength to strength, with referrals from many different vets.

Obedience training classes are on a Saturday morning and afternoon and a Tuesday morning and afternoon. Private training and Behavioral home visits are done on the other days.

The training methods are modern and we train with love, praise and treats. Sometimes when a dog is pulling its handler, then we put a HALTI on it. This is an extremely modern and kind way to stop pulling. Many dogs at K C Dog School are working on this Halti and their owners are thrilled with the results.

Please also remember that I am an Accredited Companion Animal Behaviorist. If you have any behavioral problems - big or small please contact me first, so that I can help you sort it out. Unfortunately, there are many people around the area who are calling themselves behaviorists after having done a quick course. I have been doing this for 15 years and am one of the 9 accredited behaviorists in Gauteng.

If you have any queries, please contact me. The best time is usually after 6 in the evening. 011 783 3042 or 082 454 1750 or alternatively e-mail me at  kcdogs@kcdogschool.co.za.

If you have any problems with the website please e-mail the administrator at admin@kcdogschool.co.za.
