 Lez
Graham
Education & Development Officer
Lez Graham runs
'Trained For Life' and works full- time as a canine behaviour practitioner.
Aside from her busy consultancy, she also runs
weekly gundog training classes.
As a behaviour practitioner, her focus is to show
people how, through changing their own behaviour and attitude towards
their dog, their dog's behaviour and attitude towards them will
change. By expecting your dog to be well behaved and then enforcing
it positively and in a way your dog understands, you end up with
a dog that is looking to you for guidance and leadership.
As a gundog trainer, Lez focuses on steadiness and
obedience. By bringing the behaviour element into her gundog training
her handlers get a deeper understanding of why we train the gundog
the way we do.
Lez has competed in Gundog field tests in New Zealand,
obedience and ‘works' both of her gundogs during the shooting season.
One of her most exhilarating learning experiences was having the
privilege of working ‘hands on' as a kinesiologist with an adult,
alpha male, European wolf and spending time with a small pack of
juvenile wolves whilst studying all aspects of canine behaviour.
Lez is a registered assessor with the Gundog Club
and is the Guild's Education & Development Officer.
