Dublin Dog training was set up in 2006 by John Ward who has 26 years experience in training dogs.

John is the chairman for the Working Trials Club of Ireland, where he gained most of his experience in training methods. He instructs agility and obedience at WTCI. John attended numerous training and dog related seminars over the years and achieved judging status in 1992, since then he has judged numerous events both here and in the UK. John has also appeared on TV3's Ireland AM , Irelands Pampered Pets , The Morning Show and RTE's Beastly Behaviour.

John was the first winner of the AIB All Irelands Agility Dog award in 1990 with his German Shepherd dog "Rocky" and then went on to win two Irish Kennel Club Agility Dog of the Year Awards with his German Shepherd "Smokie".

By volunteering his time working in a rescue centre, he used his knowledge on dog training to assist rescue dogs become more adoptable. John and his family have been fostering dogs for a number of years. He has fostered, trained, walked and cared for many breeds and cross breeds.
