Ringwood Dogs was established in 2014 when Isabelle returned to the UK having lived in Hong Kong for 20 years. In Hong Hong, Isabelle ran a successful dog training business called 121 Dog Training HK and was proud to introduce positive reinforcement training to Asia. She worked closely with a number Hong Kong vets, offering Puppy Courses and solving dog training problems through their referrals. She gave regular talks to local schools, teaching children how to be safe and confident around dogs and wrote articles for local pet magazines.
Since Ringwood Dogs opened its doors in 2014, she has continued to liaise closely with local Dorset vets and pet shops, works with schools in her capacity as a Kids Around Dogs Specialist Trainer, organises dog shows for local village fetes, and is an assessor for Canine Concern assessing dogs’ suitability to become therapy dogs for the sick, disabled, elderly or lonely.
Being a truly international dog trainer, Isabelle has had the privilege of meeting and working with owners of many different walks of life, nationalities, disabilities, celebrities, professional sportspeople and high profile individuals. She specialises in teaching owners how to better communicate with their canine companions so that behavioural problems do not get out of control. With over 18 years of dog training experience, she has trained thousands of dogs to date.
Isabelle trained with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) and is an Accredited Trainer and Full Member of the IMDT (with distinction). She is also a Full Member of the International Society of Animal Professionals (ISAP) and achieved an OCN Level III Accreditation “Principles of Dog Training and Behaviour”. Isabelle is also an approved Kids Around Dogs Trainer helping families with kids to train and raise their dogs to be great family companions. Isabelle is also Dog First Aid and Emergency Canine Care trained and holds a full DBS Certificate. She continues to attend regular workshops to further her knowledge and expertise. Only “Positive Reinforcement” techniques are used when training your dogs by following the Code of Ethics from IMDT which means no force or punishment is ever used.
Isabelle is based in Three Legged Cross with her family and her two beloved dogs, both now retired, Poppy who is 15yrs old and Chester who is 13yrs old who you can see in the photo. Isabelle is often asked if she is French. Isabelle’s first name might be spelt the French way and her surname Papé has an acute accent on the é. But Isabelle is very much English! Her family escaped France during the French Revolution around 1794 and settled in England.
Ringwood Dogs was set up to provide dog owners in Dorset, Hampshire, the New Forest and the surrounding areas of Ringwood with a one-to-one bespoke service for owners and their dogs. In addition to Dog and Puppy Obedience Training and Group Dog Classes, Isabelle occasionally offers Dog Day Care and Home Dog Boarding ensuring obedience, exercise, companionship and socialisation are all part of your dog’s experience with Ringwood Dogs.
Ringwood Dogs has full public liability insurance with Pet Business Insurance (PBI) and is licensed for Home Dog Boarding under Animal Welfare License No.149373 issued by Dorset Council.
