Instructors Profile  - Rob Grant

Having been a dog owner all my life since the age of seven until marrying and leaving home, it has only been since Linda my wife has not been working that we felt able to become dog owners again for the last nine years.

When we rescued Roli our German Shepherd Cross from Just For Dogs rescue center in Brailsford I joined Derwent Valley Dog Club. Having progressed through the classes to the Advanced class I volunteered to become an assistant instructor. I spent a number of months helping out in the Puppy and Beginners Class with Martin & Claire and later worked with Sue & Mick Barlow in the Intermediate Class.

I currently instruct the Intermediate Class with Sue. Whilst there is a lot to learn all the other instructors have been very helpful and patient and I get great pleasure in watching members achieve their awards and progress through the classes with their dogs.

Roli achieved his Gold award and we look forward to joining other members of the club in the display team this year when we hope to put on displays during the summer at various fetes and open days.

I am fully qualified as a Kennel Club Examiner up to Gold Level for the Good Citizens Award.
