Our Trainers
Sue Gunson
Sue has been competing in obedience and agility for many years. Her aim when training is to create an enjoyable experience for both dog and owner.
Her first obedience dog was a Collie x Newzealand Huntaway called “Widget “ who took Sue on her journey from pre – beginners to C.
Then along came Sue’s dog of a lifetime, a Staffordshire Bull terrier x Standard Poodle “Strudel”. An enormous character who had Sue thinking and living out side the box with her training right through to C.
Next came a Collie x Bearded Collie “ Nettle” a sweet girl who took Sue to the dizzy heights of Ticket.
Her lovely Standard Poodle x Golden Retriever then came on the scene “Tula” looking very like a Poodle this blonde lady progressed to C before sustaining a leg injury which has kept her out of competition since.
Last but not least is Standard Poodle “Kimi” a joy to own, who is a lock down pup so just starting her career in Novice.

Sue Garner
Soon after getting married in 1978, Sue and husband Peter purchased their first ever dog Jessie, a Working Sheepdog. Sue took her to training classes run by her breeders, Joy and Eddie Pratt. This was the best possible start for Sue and Jessie, as not only did they understand the breed but were active Obedience judges and had competed for many years. So after attending Bournemouth Open Obedience Show in 1980 to scoreboard the Beginner dog class, Sue was hooked. She started to compete with Jessie in 1981. Since then she had competed regularly up and including Championship C, so far with six working sheepdogs. Sue also judges all levels of obedience, including at Crufts in 2013.
Sue has also been an active Kennel Club representative, 20 years for obedience and now for Rally. The Kennel club adopted Rally in 2013 when the first licensed events were held. Sue competes in and judges Rally. She has successfully competed to level 6 with her working sheepdog Abby, gaining her Level 6 Excellent award. Sue started instructing in 1986, assisting more experienced trainers at Winchester City DTC, and has since run classes for pet, competition obedience and rally. She is delighted to introduce Rally to Winchester City Dog Training Club members.
