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..
