Veronika Spinkova

My name is Veronika and I have been training dogs for more than six years after combining dogs with my work in the equestrian industry. I have a keen interest in dog sports, namely bite sports and scent detection, having competed myself in agility and sport scent detection. I have worked for a large rescue centre in the past and fostered a number of dogs and still foster today where I can. I also volunteer to help train assistance dogs which I absolutely love. I currently share my life with a terrier cross called Indy and we enjoy training and attending workshops and seminars.

5 places available!
