Trained For Life is based near Marlborough, Wiltshire and was set up by
Lez Graham at
the beginning of 2007.
Lez' focus is to show people how, through changing their own behaviour and attitude towards their
dog, their dogs behaviour and attitude towards them will change. This then starts the process of
training a well mannered, obedient and respectful dog... whether this is in the home, on a walk or
wherever you and your dog find yourselves. By expecting your dog to be well behaved and then
enforcing it positively and in a way your dog understands, you end up with a dog that is looking
to you for guidance and leadership.
Lez is the Education & Development Officer for the
Guild of Dog Trainers
and a registered assessor for the
Gun Dog Club of Great Britain.
Lez has studied dog behaviour / psychology with two colleges, trained and competed her dogs in
obedience in the UK and New Zealand and in gundog trials in NZ and has worked in the complementary
health care arena with different animals, but mainly dogs. As well as competition obedience and
gundog work Lez has trained her own dogs for Agility and Search and Rescue.
Lez holds a certificate in canine psychology, is a full member of the Canine and Feline Behaviour Association
(CFBA), a master trainer with the Guild of Dog Trainers
(GoDT)
and is currently studying for her Masters Degree in Dog Behaviour & Psychology at
Middlesex University.
