Our Story
Myself and my partner Daryll run a small dog training business situated on the North Norfolk coast. Before opening the business, Daryll was in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps for many years working as a miltary dog handler. It had always been his dream to work with rhinos and elephants and in August this year he mananged to combine his dream with his passion for dogs by volunteering on a six week anti-poaching placement at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. Here he worked with the head of security to train the anti-poaching dog section that work tirelessly to protect rhino's from the fierce onslaught of poachers.
During his placement he helped upgrade the kennel facilities and establish a Canine Centre Of Excellence that not only trains dogs and their handlers but empowers and educates the local community on wildlife conservation. During his placement I mananged to secure vital dog kit such as leads and harnesses for the canine unit from several UK businesses.
Seeing first hand the barbaric effects of poaching and the orphan rhino that were left behind, Daryll has returned to the conservancy to continue working voluntarily to improve the capabilities of the dog section.This link tells you more about his placement and the fantastic work the conservancy do to protect their amazing wildlife:

Recently the conservancy have acquired ten new Malanois puppies that will be trained in multi-roles to protect the future of African Rhino. We desperately need to raise funds for the care of these puppies and the costs associated with them.
Just £10.00 can help cover the training, food, veterinary bills and handler care for one dog for one month to secure the future of Africa's rhino.
Thank you
