Meet Your Trainer

Allan Ritchie GoDT (MPDTI)

Allan has over 40 years of experience working with dogs. Becoming obsessed with dogs from a young age he joined the RAF as a dog handler and learnt his trade. Then moving into the Police force as part of the rapid response and hostage rescue team, there’s not a lot that phases Allan Ritchie. His ability to keep calm, understand and help people are key to his success and well deserved excellent reputation as a dog trainer.

After retiring from the Police force he built a kennel and dog training centre and realised that he should be concentrating on the other end of the lead, teaching and helping people to learn the skills they needed to live in harmony with their dogs.

Never far from his side is Otto his Labrador who you will certainly meet in Clan Dog’s training videos and events. They can often be found floating down the Tweed in a kayak together.
