Basil’s training & instructing expertise spans over 30 years, which began when he acquired his first puppy a German Shepherd Dog, through the Kamarn Breeders Foundation.

This was a scientific breeding organisation for the selective breeding of German Shepherd Dogs in Australia. During his time with Kamarn, Basil trained & conditioned young pups which were then donated to the Australian Customs Department as sniffer dogs.

Moreover he has trained dogs at boarding kennels and security dogs for man-dog teams.

As a professional dog training educator Basil understands the importance of improvement. Consequently, he continually upgrades his instructor skills through attendance of industry seminars such as Both Ends of the Leash with Dr. Patricia McConnell.
