A little bit about Dawn Weaver:

Dawn Weaver is a top handler, trainer and judge in Britain with over 20 years experience. She believes in giving her dogs early and reliable information that not only guarantees her dogs can run with confidence and speed around the course but will also ensure that the physical impact on her dogs while turning is kept to a minimum. The dogs love knowing their next direction on a course so that they can continue driving at maximum speed, not waiting for the next piece of information from the handler. She has trained many different breeds and sizes of dogs so is experienced on the subject of motivation. She does not feel that ‘one size fits all’ with regard to training methods or that everyone needs to do things the same way. All dogs and handlers are different and will often need different handling strategies on any given sequence. Dawn has relied on her dogs to teach her the best possible way to handle them rather than imposing her own theories on them. Every dog she has trained has got to the very top of the sport, including a poodle, papillons and various crossbreeds. She believes this is because she has listened to her dogs and handles them in a way that allows them to reach their maximum potential. This means they can run with certain knowledge and total freedom’.
