James Wiles
James has been working and training dogs since he was 9 years old. James always wanted to work outside and spent most of his days learning about animals and birds rather than learning Maths and English He discovered his passion for working dogs when he started shadowing a local gamekeeper which led to an apprenticeship, learning about the game birds but more importantly about the dogs used to hunt, flush and retrieve the game on the shoot days.
James gained his experience of dogs by working his own dogs; Labradors and spaniels; on local shoots, competing in field trials. He has worked in a quarantine kennels. He then diversified his knowledge by training and working with German Shepherds and Rottweilers as security dogs and Labradors and spaniels as scent detection dogs.
