The Guild of Dog Trainers

Ross McCarthy

Master Dog Trainer

A background of training and instructing at various German Shepherd Dog Training clubs teaching competitive obedience up to test 'A' and agility for working display teams, Ross now concentrates on Pet Obedience or 'Street Training' for real life with all breeds.

Ross works full-time as a canine behaviour practitioner and so by default of his profession works primarily with behavioural case dogs referred by Veterinary Practices. Ross runs critical behaviour classes for dogs displaying aggression to people or other dogs, Puppy Classes and adult dog classes. He offers the Kennel Club Good Citizen Award Classes up to Gold. Ross believes that training in 'real-life' situations gives you the best result and prefers one-to-one training with dogs in London's busy parks with all of the natural distractions that provides.

Ross is currently training his young Rottweiler in the Working Trials disciplines.

Ross holds a Masters Degree in Canine Behaviour & Psychology and is a member of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers and the Canine & Feline Behaviour Association. He is a tutor and lecturer with the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training. He is also a feature writer for Dogs Monthly Magazine.

Ross is also a founder of the Dog Safety Education Executive.
