Meet Lynda Gill

Lynda is a Certified Dog Trainer who has worked with dogs in different capacities for over 20 years. She is a holder of certificate 111 in Dog Behaviour and Psychology with the National Dog Trainers Federation. Dogs are a passionate part of Lynda’s life and her aim is to help others to enjoy the companionship, comfort and sheer joy of owning a dog. Through her own experience Lynda understands the fundamental importance of the relationship between owners and their dogs and has made this the basis for creating her training and breeding program plans at Calm Paws. Lynda works closely with owners to identify the behaviours and manners they would like from their dog and to ensure that the integrity of the dog’s personality is maintained and their needs met. The dog is trained to fit harmoniously into their environment.

Breeding too has been a lifelong dream for Lynda. Having owned a labrador and a poodle she believed in the temperament of the labrador and the non-shedding and intelligence of a poodle and is what attracted her to labradoodles. Also, they are sensitive, nurturing dogs capable of becoming calm, non-reactive supports and companions for their owners.

Lynda understands that the development of the puppy begins immediately he/she enters this world and the critical role not only genetics but environment plays in the early weeks and months of the puppies’ development. The time spent with Lynda during the first weeks of the puppies’ lives Lynda ensures the appropriate environmental conditions are maintained to ensure a healthy and productive physical and emotional/behavioural development.
Each puppy’s personality is respected and allowed to develop naturally and each puppies’ training is tailored to this personality. Underpinning this training is the central principle of the human-animal bond and conditioning the puppy to develop and strengthen this bond.

Being involved with the puppies from birth allows Lynda to know the puppy from a very young age and upon supporting potential owners to choose their puppy she is able to better condition and shape the puppy’s development so as to bond with, and become the dog the owners would like.

Lynda is passionate and committed in bringing her extensive experience and knowledge to train and breed dogs to become well-mannered, well-adjusted, bonding dogs that will connect and support with their owners.
