Papia Rowe
KPA Certification #88448
My first true love at the age of 15 was my gorgeous family German Shepherd Renny – he was an amazingly loyal and loving first dog. Marriage led to a whole new level of life with dogs and now we live with 10 dogs!
I have been instrumental in the training of all of our dogs, from their first day, whether at eight weeks or eight months and onwards. This has allowed me to gain hands on experience working with dogs.
I am passionate about passing on all the tips and tricks that I have learnt through the past 20 years and through completion of the Karen Pryor Academy Dog Trainer Professional Program, graduating as a KPA-CTP, to facilitate positive and force free lives for dogs.
I am a full qualified Pet / Canine First Aid Instructor and Mindfulness4dogs is an approved Pet First Aid training centre.
