At BTPDS we really love to follow the way Craig Ogilvie and Marita Davies play with their dogs. It creates a real team drive and is easy on the owner but very enjoyable for the dog. 

Learn to engage in play with your puppy the right way.

Marita is an international championship agility handler who has represented Team GB on numerous occasions. Marita offers her knowledge to students around the world through dedicated online coaching, online courses and in-person workshops. Marita works on health and fitness, mental preparation, trick training and agility skills with her students. 

Craig is the first and only person from the U.K to be licensed to test and train dogs internationally in the working dog sport called Mondioring: which consists of Obedience, Agility and Criminal Apprehension. Craig is also the only civilian police dog trainer in the UK and he works with individuals from across the globe on all training aspects from competition obedience to problem behaviours like aggression and separation anxiety.

Both Marita and Craig use positive reinforcement, play focussed training methods
