​

Peter has two dogs, Max his seven year old working Springer Spaniel and Seven his five year old working Cocker Spaniel.
​

Peter started his career in the finance industry working for some of the worlds’ top banks. Over 10 years he gained experience coaching and mentoring people which ultimately brought him to America as an international coach for Bank of America. Working with people to develop their skills and abilities has always been his passion and his focus is always to help people achieve their goals.
 
Whilst running his own marketing company in 2016 Peter got his first dog Max and he soon discovered a passion for dog training. After six months of attending workshops and training classes with Max he made the life changing decision to leave the corporate world and sell his marketing company to start a dog walking business – 21st Century Dogs.
 
Knowing that he wanted to provide the best possible experience for the dogs in his care, as well as being focussed on developing his own knowledge and skills, in 2018 he completed the WaggaWuffins Instructor Course passing with Distinction.  This gave him the skills to support and develop the dogs he walked. Peter was a Trainer at WaggaWuffins from graduating in 2018 until the end of 2021.
 
Peter has continued his development and is currently studying a Diploma in Canine Health & Nutrition and has completed Dr Isla Fishburn's course on Canine Functional Characters.
 
Peter additionally has completed the Bronze & Silver Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards with Max and the Bronze award with Seven.
