With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Amanda Cotterell has dedicated her life to understanding, training, and caring for dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. Her journey has included rescue work, fostering, walking, boarding, and professional teaching — all built on a foundation of compassion and respect for each individual dog.

Amanda is the proud owner of five working Labradors who regularly pick up on local shoots and train year-round to stay in peak condition for working tests and field trial training. As a fully qualified, OCN-accredited, and insured force-free gundog trainer based in Berkshire, Amanda combines her extensive experience with modern, science-based methods to help handlers and their dogs build strong, reliable partnerships both in the field and at home.
