About Unleashed Dog Handling School

We’re a small, dog-first training school in Nicosia, Cyprus, built to help handlers and dogs learn together with clarity and kindness. Born from our work with Unleashed Borders, and from a personal promise to create the place I needed when I started, at a time when help and guidance were hard to find. We’re here so no one has to walk that path alone. and with a desire to support the community with practical skills, mentoring, and regular seminars.

What we offer:

• Show & Junior Handling — foundations to ringcraft, teamwork, and ring confidence

• Private & Group Classes — tailored coaching for every level

• Workshops & Seminars — focused clinics throughout the year
   

Results we’re proud of:
We’ve handled abroad with multiple wins and achievements, including results at Crufts.
Our students and junior handlers have earned group wins, Best in Show placements, and Supreme Best in Show.
And we’re especially proud that all of our junior handlers have achieved Junior Handling Best in Show placements.

How we teach

• Dog-first ethics: welfare, fairness, and clarity come before ribbons.

• Simple, transferable skills: footwork, timing, lead handling, presenting the dog, and calm ring presence.

• Small groups, big attention: we keep classes compact so every team gets individual feedback.

• Show-day support: walk-throughs, warm-ups, and a steady hand when you need it.
   

Who it’s for

• New handlers building foundations

• Experienced teams polishing for majors

• Junior handlers developing confidence, sportsmanship, and ring craft
  All breeds welcome.
   

Handling services:
Professional handling is available by appointment and subject to availability, following a brief consultation to understand your dog, goals, and schedule. We travel for select shows and can discuss conditioning, grooming, and show logistics as part of the plan.

Our space & schedule:
We train in Nicosia with safe footing, ring markers, and the equipment you’ll find at shows, so practice feels like the real thing. Classes run on a rolling calendar with weekday evenings and weekend blocks; seminars are announced in advance.

Our promise:
No title matters more than the relationship in front of us. We’ll meet you where you are, celebrate the small wins, and keep the training calm, kind, and clear—so both ends of the lead walk out more confident than they came in.
