JENNY DUCKWORTH
FOUNDER OF THE DOG MENTOR
Coming from a teaching background, running a youth centre and PRU programmes, I re-educated alongside raising my family to follow my passion to become a dog trainer.
​
After adopting Jock from a rescue centre, he became my key lever for making a difference. When invited to work at my local primary school, I discovered that we had a large positive impact and became integral to school life.
​
After studying Neuro-linguistic programming, I was able to create a programme to suit all needs for dogs, staff, children and parents.
​
Jock and I were able to share our knowledge and experience with an ever growing list of schools throughout the UK and into Europe since 2013. Jock is sadly no longer with us but lives on in a new batch of Dog Mentors taking the programme forward.
​
This programme enables the educational environment to have their own dog to realise the full benefit that comes from having a dog in school.

Alongside Jenny, we have a fantastic team of people with a huge wealth of knowledge and practical experience in their particular field.
