I'm Caz, originally from the North East, but now settled in Sutton in Ashfield after my last posting at the Defence Animal Centre training dogs. After serving in the Army for 13 years, I continued to train search dogs while also helping owners with their pets. This passion led me to establish Dogaholics, where I could dedicate myself to helping dog owners full-time.
I own two working explosives detection dogs: Milo, a spirited chocolate working cocker spaniel, and Rooster, a driven Labrador x Pointer with a cheeky character. I also have three other pet dogs, a Rottweiler called Doris, Madge the Jack Russell and Frankie the French Bulldog. My dedication to dogs drives me to help owners build strong, lasting relationships with their pets through tailored training methods.
Every dog is unique, so I use a variety of tools and approaches to suit each dog and their owner. My goal is to help you enjoy living with your dog and provide you with the tools and techniques needed for a harmonious relationship.

20+ Years of Expertise in Transforming Dog Behaviour
Offering a wide range of personal dog training services
1-2-1 Dog Training
Our 121 training sessions are customised to address any aspect of your dog's training or behaviour, offering the best way to educate you on improving your dog's conduct. These sessions can take place in your home or outdoors.
We address issues like barking, aggression, jumping, counter surfing, recall, lead walking, separation anxiety, toilet training, ignoring commands, and destructive behaviour. Most behavioural problems stem from a lack of leadership and mismanagement. Minor issues can escalate if not promptly addressed.
Our Doggy Day School offers a unique, structured experience for your dog. It’s more than just daycare – it's a day packed with fun activities like trips out, obedience training, socialisation, and mental stimulation, all designed to reinforce training and build healthy habits.
My 18month old springer Molly has always been nervous and reactive around strangers and dogs. Never would have thought I would see her being able to interact with them, but just two sessions in and I can see the massive change in her and not only am I happier, so is she! Caz has a great understanding of how to communicate correctly with your dog and you never feel like she’s thinking “Oh my God, she’s useless”? Now both Molly and I are getting the training down and the only way is up. Just sorry I didn’t find her sooner!

Caz has really helped build my confidence with training my puppy. She offers no nonsense practical training advice which works! The pack walks are great for working around other dogs and distractions.

Caz came over today for a 1-1 session with our little dog Walter. Walter suffers from anxiety and we have tried many different things with him and had behavioural specialists out to help. By far Caz has given us the most valuable information and she is fab at what she does!! I will definitely be using her services again and already some commands have helped with Walter tonight! Would highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Caz as a trainer. After spending hundreds of pounds on positive only trainers and not getting anywhere or any results I was pulling my hair out with my dogs, both been rescues I think I felt sorry for them and treated them like babies rather than dogs. After meeting and speaking with Caz a lot of unwanted behaviours my dogs were displaying was actually down to me and not the dogs now with clear boundaries and teaching the dogs with different tools and environments of how to behave and what's acceptable and what's not walks are so much more enjoyable and manageable. Still a long way to go but thank you can for your time and patience. Excellent trainer cannot recommend enough.

Had a meeting with Caz yesterday for an hour. I needed some help with my lurcher. Well! What a difference a hour makes. We’ve got 2 weeks training (homework) to do, but I’m sure now, things are going to be so much better, for me and my dog. Don’t hesitate to call and get help. ? happy with Caz and how she was with my dog.

I thought with my dog there would be a lot of work to put in to stop him lunging at other dogs and constantly pulling the lead and basically leading the walks. After a 1hr session he was walking by my side with no pulling. I took him out the day after for our first walk using the techniques I was given and it was the easiest and best walk we’ve ever been on. He stuck by my side the whole way and even started looking up at me looking for direction. Absolutely over the moon. Would 100% recommend Dogaholics to anyone having dog troubles.

Caz was recommended to us by the rescue centre we adopted our dogs from. We were struggling with having taken on two young dogs at the same time, both of them were nervous and one was dog reactive, Caz did a home visit and went through all the basics, things you would never have thought of but were invaluable to setting us up for success, we’ve since had some further one to one sessions with her, both of our dogs go to day school which they absolutely love and we’ve also started joining her pack walks which we’ve found invaluable and I can honestly say we’re making good progress.
We can not recommend this lady enough, you can tell as soon as she takes control of your dog that she knows her stuff, she’s straight forward, none judgmental and she genuinely wants you to succeed and if you’re having ‘a wobble’ she’s just a phone call away.
If you’re struggling with your dog or puppy give this wonderful lady a call, you will not regret it, it’s the best decision we ever made, just be prepared to be demoted as the apple of your dogs eyes! Both our dogs think she is the bees knees, we don’t get a look in when Caz is around🤣

Our Rottweiler Logan had reactivity issues prior to him passing away a few years ago- Caz spotted the problem quickly and completely changed our lives for the better. I couldn’t recommend a better dog trainer. Will be using Dogaholics for all our future dogs going forward.

Caz is absolutely brilliant. We rescued an 18 month old doodle who had 3 previous owners and no training. We cannot believe the progress we have made together and he truly loves Caz and gets excited when he knows he's going to day school. Caz is extremely supportive and always at the end of her phone if you need help, guidance or just some confidence boosts. Would thoroughly recommend for any owner, any situation, any breed, any age. There is no judgement.

I contacted caz as she was recommended to me by a friend. I found her to be straight to the point, demonstrated how to handle situations and knowledgeable. I follow her videos even now as I find them informative. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you caz. 😊

Caz is brilliant. She has a very relaxed but informative method, and our Labrador has made great strides in being so much more relaxed around other dogs now -after he was attacked last year.
We're continuing to work on 'pulling' whilst walking and making good progress.
All the activities from individual tuition, day school, pack walks etc are all beneficial and have been very useful.
We cannot recommend Dogaholics enough as it can literally change your life with your dog.

Caz has been working with us for around a year now, both with our older Dog and our Puppy. I cannot recommend her enough. She has been amazing at building the confidence of our dogs and ourselves. Showing us the right and proper way of training our dogs.
I genuinely cannot recommend her enough.

Absolutely amazing, I couldn't ask for more. Our 1-2-1 home visit was invaluable, and the care and attention put into our session were next to none. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to train their puppy! Thank you so much! :)

I have been to 3 previous dog trainers with my dog with minimal progress then started with Caz at Dogaholics and although we still have a way to go I could tell almost straight away we are finally on the right track to getting the control we should have with him.
