About me

Hi, my name is Vicki. I'm a qualified dog trainer (FdSc in Canine Behaviour and Training with Merit). My classes are based in Westleigh, North Devon.

Canine Connexion was founded in 2016 in Normandy, France, where I taught classes and fostered rescue dogs for three years before returning to England in 2019. In 2019, Canine Connexion moved to North Devon, where we have been ever since.

I regularly undertake training courses with the IMDT and Scentwork UK.

Short courses in Scentwork, Trick training and Treibball (including ‘a herding game’ for any breed of dog, not just working breeds).
