Louise Downing

I have been training dogs for twenty-four years. Having originally adopted rescue dogs with emotional and psychological issues, I really struggled to find someone who could help me work through their specific problems, ranging from sheer terror and lead reactivity to food aggression and bed guarding.

In order to help my dogs, I have researched and learned many different training methods, as I am constantly looking for positive ways to make a difference to their lives. On my journey, I discovered Tellington TTouch, qualifying as a Practitioner (P1) in 2011. I continued to study Tellington TTouch and qualified as a Practitioner (P2) in 2021. All my animals have significantly benefitted from this fantastic way to mentally and physically engage with them without conflict or confrontation.

I share my life with two Belgian Shepherds, Shardai and Phoenix, and we participate and compete in various activities, such as Agility and Scent Work, to provide them with both mental and physical enrichment. I am also owned by two cats, Shadow and Indie-Anna, who both enjoy Tellington TTouch.

I am the owner and Dog Trainer of Alpha 1 Canine Communication and Happy Canines Dog Training Club in Pershore, Worcestershire. I work 1-2-1 with clients and also offer group workshops and classes. I cover most areas in and around Worcester.
