Overview

For as long as she can remember, dogs have been at the heart of Charmaine’s life. That passion first took root in 1992 when her family brought home Lady, an English Springer Spaniel puppy who sparked a lifelong fascination with canine behaviour and communication. Over the years, this connection only deepened, guiding Charmaine into a career in both dog grooming and professional dog training.

In 2020, Charmaine became a proud member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), reflecting her commitment to ethical, science‑based, welfare‑focused training. In 2025, she joined the Lincs Dog Training team, where her skills and qualifications have continued to grow. She is now a Kennel Club Good Citizen Assessor, a Scentwork UK Instructor, and an Accredited Canine Hoopers UK Instructor.

Charmaine is also currently undertaking The Dog Training School’s Year of Scent, expanding her expertise even further - so keep an eye out for upcoming tracking and mantrailing workshops.

Her mission is to help dogs and their humans navigate the world together with confidence, clarity, and kindness. She believes that great training is built on empathy, communication, and teamwork, creating supportive learning experiences that strengthen relationships and foster trust.

She currently offers a wide range of classes, including Scentwork, Agility, Hoopers, Puppy Classes, Beginner Classes, and Levels Classes, all delivered with her signature interactive, compassionate, welfare‑first approach.
