Cat Le Chevalier- Bikejor/Scooter

SW London, North Surrey & Berkshire

Hi! I’m Cat.

I have been learning about dogs since I was 5 years old. To this day I still have the over thumbed breed directory where I read cover to cover on every breeds temperaments, likes and dislikes.

I started my running journey over a decade ago as a road runner on a couch to 5km program and have progressed to being on the trails canicrossing with my two rescue huskies. My journey has reached World Championship level and seeing many podium places and also completed challenging half marathons.

Mavis, my first rescue, was an 18 month old abandoned Siberian husky when she came into my life from Dogs Trust and that is where my steep learning curve started. A beautiful breed that is heavily misunderstood providing all the needs for her, physically and mentally became such a joy. She was followed a few years later by emaciated, nervous Yuki at the older age of 5 years. City life whilst having two high energy dogs was where I learnt further on how to use training, such as canicross and scootering, to support my dogs happiness and wellbeing to become the trainer I am today.

Throughout my dog ownership years I’ve excelled my knowledge base through extensive CPD learning including Sarah Whitehead training, Puppy School being trained by world reknowned Dog behaviourist Gwen Bailey as well as being trained in canicross/bikejor and scooter by UK champions, I also have certifications from Natures Menu dog food and Galen Myotherapy. Knowing that all the hard work that I put into my education and training has meant I can provide the most modern, kindest, effective and scientifically proven dog training available. ​

I am constantly looking to improve my dog training skills, so I regularly attend training courses, workshops and seminars held by leading animal scientists and world expert dog trainers. I am also proud to say I have volunteered for five years at the RSPCA, working in the intake kennels.
