Extracts from letters of recommendation regarding our Kennel Club Listed Status Application
I have known David Lovegrove for in excess of 15 years and have seen him progress from a competent dog handler and trainer
to a knowledgeable and informed instructor. He delivers advice and instruction in a clear and comprehensive manner that is
enjoyed and easily understood by those attending his classes. His methods of training are based on understanding what makes
the dog 'tick' rather than aggressive handling. He is always ready to demonstrate his methods so that the handler has
a better understanding of the objectives they are aiming for. I have no hesitation in recommending his classes for those aspiring
to have a well trained and balanced dog.

I have visited the premises of the Scout headquarters in School Lane Selsey, and confirm that this is an appropriate
and suitable venue for dog training.
Further, I have known David Lovegrove for some time, and have no doubt that he is conducting training classes with the
utmost supervision and acheiving a high standard.
