Lez Graham works full-time as a canine behaviour practitioner and gundog trainer; working with clients on a one to one basis in their homes in and around Wiltshire, she also runs weekly gundog training classes and specialised gundog training days.

Lez is a qualified Adult and Further Education teacher and was an international trainer in Kinesiology which is where her background lies. She was the first person to write a Kinesiology for Animals course and taught anatomy and physiology and manipulative therapies for dogs and horses.

Lez holds her Masters degree in Canine Behaviour & Psychology, is a full member of the Canine and Feline Behaviour Association (CFBA), a master trainer with the Guild of Dog Trainers (GoDT) and is an established author having published two highly successfully books (The Pet Gundog and The Advanced Pet Gundog) with a third on the way (The Pet Gundog Puppy).

As Director of Education and Development for the Guild of Dog Trainers, Lez headed up their Balanced Intelligent Dog Training Campaign in July 2011; in 2009 she was asked by the Pet Education, Training & Behaviour Council (PETbc) to write the Defining Roles for Dog Behaviour & Training Professionals document which became the definitive guide for the profession.

In 2010 Lez co-founded The Pet and Working Gundog Organisation which was set up to encourage gundog owners of all ilk to spend time training and honing their gundog's abilities. An executive with the Dog Safety Education Executive (DogSEE), Lez has been involved with this organisation since its conception in early 2011.

Lez has trained and competed her dogs in obedience in the UK and New Zealand and in gundog trials in NZ and has worked in the complementary health care arena as a kinesiologist with different animals, but mainly dogs. As well as gundog work and competition obedience, Lez has trained her own dogs for agility and Search and Rescue.
