Before You Write

Please review our articles section, as many common questions are addressed in detail there. If you have a specific situation not covered, I am happy to provide guidance.

Response Time

I typically respond within 48 hours during the week. Complex questions about training progression or specific behavioral concerns may take longer to address properly.

Location

Whitworth Working Dogs operates from the Cotswolds region of England. While I cannot evaluate dogs remotely, I am happy to recommend testing facilities and trainers in other areas when possible.
