My name is GEORGE BARRETT.  I am a practising registered dog psychologist.

I work closely and accept referrals from many local vets in particular “Ashlands” who are located at Glusburn and Ilkley

my work involves  training people to understand dogs better. I have kept, bred, and trained dogs since early childhood. I live on a farm in Yorkshire with my wife Susan and present pack of dogs.

Specialising  in puppy training , I work with clients and their dogs on a one to one basis. I also run puppy /juvenile and adult training classes.

My lifelong passion has been livestock and dogs in particular.  My dad before me was a natural dog man, who got results using methods that are causing great excitement today.  I have truly embraced these methods and  have studied the way a dog thinks and learns which has served to enhanced and confirm my earlier lessons. Some 36 years ago  I moved to the farm and started training my own working border collies using a much softer methods than was traditional at the time.
