Hi there,
Thanks for dropping by my virtual dog training paddock.
We are Angela, Jasper and Berty. I’m an executive coach and passionate golden retriever owner, dog trainer, competitor who loves being part of my dog’s lives.
My Vision
To bridge the gap between dog sports and modern dog handlers needs, ensuring every training session is filled with joy.
Imagine if the ring felt like it did in training.
That’s why Angela’s Paddock is here.

121 Lessons
You are on your own competitive obedience journey so obedience lessons are designed around the individual handler and dog. Each training partnership begins with an initial conversation, which is free of charge.
Courses
Competitive Obedience Training Courses designed for handlers to learn the fundamentals of focus & engagement, ring-entry, set-ups, transitions, rewards. Practice effective ring preparation, allowing you and your dog to compete with confidence.
Self-Help Groups
Sometimes what helps most isn’t more instruction, but space to put things into practice in a low key, ring environment. These are self-help days. There’s no formal training, and no pressure to ‘get it right’. Spaces are limited to 6.
Club Seminars
Bespoke talks, seminars, and workshops designed for handlers who have a good understanding of the fundamentals of the sport, but sometimes struggle in the ring. Workshops that explore the simple truth behind dog sport excellence.
It’s your journey and my aim is to make sure you enjoy the ride.

Angela’s coaching came at exactly the right time for me. I was sad and felt as if I had lost my anchor. Each session was enjoyable and useful, but not hard work. In the past if I’d had a problem I would feel I had to work harder at it, Angela helped me realise I didn’t have to work so hard. So without much effort, I feel happier, stronger, and more confident. I also now have lots more energy and things are just seeming to fall into place. I’m now looking forward to my new dog sport adventures with excitement. I would highly recommend your coaching to anyone.

Putting the last 12 weeks into words is quite hard as Angela has helped me in so many ways. I have learned to stop analysing, stopped overthinking, and stopped overthinking why I am overthinking. I now know I’m ok as I am. There’s no need to improve or prove to myself that I’m worthy or capable. My past is like old sushi, pass on it, and enjoy the fresh sushi.

Angela, you are a superb coach. I have valued our sessions together and feel you have helped me immensely. Your empathy, knowledge, and insight are truly amazing. You have widened my view on things in my life that I thought were too challenging to deal with. You have helped me see things from many different perspectives and I now have the courage and confidence to achieve my goals.
