CHARLIE
Puppy Trainer
Charlie is the new puppy trainer at Royvon. She has worked part-time with the care team for over a year, spending the majority of her time exercising the dogs in our care. She realised her particular interest in dogs when her family bought a puppy Doberman Pinscher, Quinn, almost five years ago.
“Whilst I’ve grown up around dogs living with Quinn made me realise how intelligent and complex dogs really are. This endeavoured me to want to learn more about dogs and their behaviour which made me realise my ambition to work with them, which led me to Royvon.”
Charlie has studied canine care, behaviour, psychology and puppy socialisation and has a desire to learn more through up to date learning resources, additional courses and IMDT programs, with the aim of becoming IMDT registered.
As a puppy trainer, she knows the importance of teaching positive behaviours and good manners as soon as possible. Using fun learning games, correcting the right behaviours and proper socialisation from a young age will help them to grow up into confident, motivated and happy dogs.
She believes by having both a scientific and compassionate understanding of the dog’s mind and with the use of positive and fun training techniques that focus on rewards and utilising a dog’s natural instincts, is the key to gaining a strong bond and a mutually beneficial relationship with our dogs.
“To be able to make a real positive change in both dogs and owners lives is what inspired me to become a trainer. As a pet owner, I understand how important dogs are to their family and I’m dedicated to giving the best care and learning experience I can to the puppies and dogs at Royvon.”

OBEDIENCE and HEELWORK for two Labrador siblings
Siblings Hope and Diamond came to Royvon in need of obedience, heelwork and crate training. Charlie first found out what motivated each dog (in this case food) and used that as reinforcement for desired behaviour. Charlie found that she needed to train them separately at times so that they could develop stronger bonds with their trainer and it stopped them copying eachother.
Great work Hope, Diamond and Charlie!

Recall and obedience training for a Working Spaniel
Due to his breed, Rex was easily distracted by smells and other distractions, causing him to have poor recall. Charlie worked with Rex to show him the value of focus and that the ignoring of these distractions would lead to high value rewards.
Rex made great progress during his training and now has much better recall and focus!
