Professional Journey

Having achieved success in 2020, 2021 & 2025 through client nominations to become one of the most recognised trainers in Scotland, Craig is dedicated and completely tireless in his pursuit of helping as many people and their dogs as possible. As an OCN Level 5 Behaviourist and a fully accredited IMDT Dog Trainer, these achievements show that this isn't just a job for Craig, but an entire of way of life.
