DR SHAN LLOYD

Head Trainer

Trainer Dr Shan Lloyd has a Cert III in Canine Training and Behaviour, and degrees in both Zoology and Veterinary Science as well as a PhD.  Her interest in dog training started in her early teens with training her family dog, a doberman. For many years Shan has owned, shown and trained borzois, dogs which belong to the sight hound family and are notoriously difficult to train. She is one of few people who have competed with borzoi successfully in obedience competitions. She is currently training her border collies and her borzoi but loves all dogs and always keeps up to date with the scientific literature on canine training and behaviour.
