WELCOME to That Dog Man of Wilmington!
I'm Darren, and for over 30 years, I've been passionately following the dog's nose and strengthening the incredible bond between dogs and their owners!
I only work one to one and will build a session or programme to suit the unique needs of each dog and owner, using techniques rooted in mutual respect, trust, and positive reinforcement.
Whether you have an energetic puppy or a seasoned companion, your dog's nose truly does know!
To tap into the dog's potential I offer a variety of exciting training options including scent work, tracking, and fun gundog training, all while tackling challenging behaviour with enthusiasm!
​
Set against the stunning backdrop of the South Downs in East Sussex, our secure fields and barn provide a fantastic training environment, perfect for you and your dog to learn together!

As a practical trainer, I believe that a balanced approach, combined with mutual respect, trust, and positive reinforcement, leads to a happier, fulfilled, more confident, calm, and relaxed dog.
I never teach or use harsh methods on your dog (or on you)
Our safe fields and barn provide a beautiful and enjoyable environment perfect for learning.I look forward to meeting you soon!
