Vislor Dog Training - Halesowen, West Midlands

John's enthusiasm for dogs started at an early age when his mum bred and showed Border Collie dogs between 1985 - 1990. John took part in showing his Smooth Collie at the age of seven, which was his first pet dog. His family later owned German Shepherd Dogs, and he discovered his love for the breed.

John's journey into dog training began with his German Shepherd, Bailey, initially starting with basic obedience. He quickly became fascinated and discovered a love for dog sports. He is working alongside Travis Foster, pursuing perfection, and developing a solid bond with Bailey.

Care and empathy towards dogs are paramount to John, and their welfare is a top priority. He has up-to-date Animal First Aid qualifications and, with his wife, organises an annual Christmas collection donated to the Birmingham Dogs Home.

He is an active member of Team Marches and is currently training to be an IGP Decoy Helper. John is an experienced teacher and assists with our specialist Reactive Courses and pack walks, helping our clients achieve a well-balanced, trained family dog.
