The Dog CharmerPrivate Puppy and Dog Training

Member since Dec 2019

I am an Accredited Puppy and Dog Trainer offering a range of services and training classes including pet dog and pet puppy obedience training, AGoG (Agility on the Ground) and Scentwork UK courses (scent detection work as a hobby). I offer an outdoor training venue which I describe as Real Life Training = Real Life Benefits. We have room to practice off lead recall in a more natural setting - no slippy hall floors ! All my classes are family friendly and PAYG. Also available is my unique Puppy Parenting Guide which I have written for new puppy owners who book my Puppy Ambassador Package.

In addition to training classes, I offer a Monday to Friday dog walking service with a small pack of off lead dogs. I do not offer random walks, my dog walking service is a contract service for week in/week out walks. Please contact and book my private dog training services on Petworks. Thank You.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Linda McKenzie, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
