Hello! My name is Celia, welcome to all about me!
I live in a village in Bedfordshire with my family, our three dogs, Jodie a Springer Spaniel and the Springerdors, Jamie and Jessie and our two cats.
I have always loved dogs, although I was never fortunate enough to grow up with one (my parents preferred cats!) However, I was lucky enough to spend many school holidays on my Uncles farm, who was a shepherd. I loved watching the Border Collies and New Zealand Hunterway's work. That's when I knew I wanted to work with dogs.

In 2009 I attended Moulton Collage where I gained an NVQ Level 2 in Animal care.
Fast forward a few years to where I have now achieved 15 years experience working with dogs, in boarding kennels, doggy daycare, as a dog walker and for a breeder where I gained my midwife experience.

After having my children, I decided to get back into studying and have so far attended many courses and achieved further qualifications.

In December 2022 I started Canine Choices Dog Training, teaching dogs and their owners using ethical reward based methods. I have proudly achieved my dream of becoming a qualified dog trainer with the IMDT passing my assessment with distinction in June 2023.

Continuing my professional development I regularly attend workshops and courses.

I have an up to date Canine First Aid Certificate and am fully insured and DBS Checked.

I have certification for the following IMDT courses:
