Animal Centred Education


We are proudly ACE (Animal Centred Education) Associate Tutors.

ACE is 'an integrated approach to animal well-being and education. ACE combines observations of the dog's posture, movement and nervous system responses'.
​

Through using ACE principles we are able to work with the dog as a whole, helping them find peace and harmony.

ACE was founded by, and is led by, Sarah Fisher.

Observation
​Connection

​We use ACE (Animal Centred Education) force-free, kind and effective reward based methods within our training as we believe these methods are not only ethical but also build a stronger bond between you and your dog.

Strengthening the bond between you & your dog.

We believe in the importance of an enriched and varied lifestyle for all dogs no matter age, breed or ability. To help fulfill this, we aim to provide a wide range of enrichment activities in our specialist coaching centre, all taught through force free, reward based methods and adapted to meet the needs of each dog.

As seen on Bristol TV

In 2018 we were featured on Bristol TV. Presenter Emi Horne spoke to Matt Donovan, to find out about our high quality dog training, she even got involved taking one of our dogs round the agility course.

In the video Matt explains the key principles of our dog training are fun, friendly and positive, and the importance of understanding how dogs learn new skills through lots of positive encouragement.
