About Me

My name is Sue Ashforth. Animals have always been my passion. 

For 11.5 years I worked for  O'Meara Vets  in Ewell ( now Goddards ) and when it changed hands in 2009,  I set up Happy Pets Services, offering dog walking  and cat feeding services together with dog training classes. 

I use reward based training using food and toys to create positive associations . I want training to be enjoyable for both you and your dog making it a far better environment to learn rather than doing 'drills'. 

I regularly attend  training workshops with my dogs to keep my own training current and up to date. In my spare time I compete in agility with my Sprocker Spaniels and also enjoy training Heelwork to Music and Search and Rescue. 

I am fully insured with Pet Business Insurance and have.a current up to date DRB check. 

I hold  dog training classes in Cheam, and 1:2:1 training is available at your home or using a local area..

Here are some of the training courses I have completed.
