Meet Patricia

THE HEART OF THE K9 CAMP

From Rio to Rural Scotland
and Always Surrounded by Dogs

Hi, I’m Patricia, born in Rio de Janeiro, now based in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire and loving every second of training dogs in the great outdoors.

Dogs have been with me since the beginning. I’ve raised German Shepherds, Poodles, and mixes. These days, I have three beautiful Springers: Connie, Abby and Mina. My love for gundog breeds began back in 2007 when I rescued Toby, a Springer who completely changed my life. Since then, this passion has only grown stronger.

How Training Became My Purpose

After training my own dogs, especially my competition dog, Abby, I realised just how much I enjoyed the process. I wanted to learn more, not just for me, but so I could help others too.

I completed a rigorous 18-month training course and earned my:

Level 3 Certificate in Dog Training
Behaviour and Obedience
Dog Nutrition

“At 40, I found my purpose and turned my passion into a profession.”

What It’s Like to Work With Me

I’m not one for big words or fluffy language. I tell it like it is with a good laugh along the way and I make sure you leave every session with new confidence, practical tools, and real results.

If something’s not clicking, I’ll find another way to teach it. I believe training should make sense and be something you can actually use at home, every day.
