UPDATE: Our rehoming centres are closed until further notice, however we are now able to rehome a small number of our amazing dogs. Each dog’s profile will let you know if they are looking for a new home. For the time-being, we are unable to register your interest for dogs who are not yet available for rehoming.

School Trainers

Fiona Strong, Senior Coach

Fiona graduated from university in 2015 with a degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare (BSc). She has spent the last 3 years working at Little Valley Animal Shelter in Exeter where she was able to put all the theory she had learnt to use! She loved being able to help make their time in rescue as stress free as possible.

Fiona is looking forward to starting her new adventure at Dogs Trust Dog School and is excited about helping dogs who may not settle as easily as others but also to watch the progression of each and every dog week by week!

In her spare time, Fiona enjoys keeping fit and getting out in the fresh air whether that’s for a long walk, out on horseback or a windswept ride on her bike!

Connor Bowers-Lee, Coach

Connor is a former Royal marine who joined civvi street at the end of 2019 with the intent to transfer into animal welfare and training. After attending the Dogs Trust Dog School puppy class with his ever growing Rhodesian Ridgeback Oban, he has not looked back.

Connor enjoys a morning routine of coffee, Fraiser and long walks by the River Exe with his snuggle buddy Oban.
