Meet our Head Trainer

Certified Pro Dog Trainer

My name is Philippa Boon, (Pa for short), Head Trainer at Dog-in-a-Box Dog Training. I believe that dogs should be trained using force-free methods and I use a range of games to teach training concepts, also known as concept-based training. This creates a fantastic partnership between you and your dog, and the training you undertake will give your dog skills for real life, whilst having fun!

By choosing our training, you are making an investment in your relationship with your dog and can look forward to creating your perfect companion, whatever your goals, whether it be having a relaxed and easy family pet, a sports dog or an assistance dog. Remember - 'those who play together, stay together'!

Our Training Team!

Pa Boon

Owner & Head Trainer

I have had dogs ALL my life but they were secondary to horses for most of it!!

That is, until I brought Matty home at 8 weeks old.

Having discovered “Absolute Dogs”, I started training Matty & my other 3 dogs (!) with their game-based training.

Despite being socialised & trained well, Matty has always been incredibly nervous & hyperactive. So with this in mind I put all my efforts into helping him cope with life, leading me to become a Pro Dog Trainer!

I love working with dogs & their people. I am extremely proud to say that I have helped almost 200 clients, from a variety of backgrounds, personalities
& training needs.

I adore what I do, & have spent a lot of time honing my craft & facilities to make sure all our Dog-in-a-Box members benefit from the same great experiences!

Wobble

Dog Language Expert & Calming Influence!

My team would not be complete without the fantastic work that Wobble does with anxious & reactive dogs. He is definitely now an elder statesman but just has the most wonderful temperament & an uncanny knack of being able to read any dog from 20 yards!

He will instantly assess whether a dog is truly aggressive or whether they are just nervous – many dogs have been in full reactive mode; hackles, barking, lunging & he has marched calmly up to them, introduced himself, communicated that he is there to help & immediately diffused the situation!

He is one in a million & a huge asset to the team!
