Wendy Hooper - Lead Trainer

Wendy is Lead Trainer at ClicknTreat and has had a passion for dogs all her life and had many Labradors as a child. As an adult circumstances were not quite right to have a dog but her continued love of dogs lead her to research and read many books on the subject.

Then came Sam her first puppy a pedigree show Labrador and this is when her teaching began. Through Sam, Wendy went on to further her studies and decided to set up ClicknTreat 7 years ago in Twickenham, Middlesex. We had both been to training classes where the essence was on teaching basic behaviours with no real interest in what the owners wanted - so this was going to be the basis of our classes. And they have gone on from strength to strength. We weren’t just going to teach Pet Dog Obedience, we would give good solid foundation and life skills.
