Our History

Dogs For Life was initiated by Philippa Williams and first held at Hartpury College in 1994 and have been running ever since with increasing interest and success, although now based in Yorkshire.

We have been fortunate to have had people visit from as far as Japan, Australia and America, some of whom originally saw our Training dogs video which we had the pleasure to make with the late John Fisher. We pride ourselves in never standing still and sitting back on our laurels. New and interesting venues have been sought throughout the years, together with the latest behavioural knowledge and training techniques.

We have designed a range of holidays and courses that offer opportunities for education, understanding and above all, fun in a relaxed atmosphere. Each dog and handler will be taken on their own merits and individual requirements will be met to bring out the best in every partnership. We pride ourselves in being able to accommodate a great selection of breeds that have come to enjoy themselves on our holidays. All breeds of dogs and all types of owners deserve to take a break and now is your opportunity.
