Peter has spent most of his life studying dogs and their behaviour. While these days much of his work is for veterinary surgeons who refer clients that have dogs with behavioural problems, his skill in this sector of dogs has been strongly influenced by his vast experience as a dog handler. For very many years, not only did he teach pet dog owners, he also achieved much success at the highest levels in competition dog training including Obedience, Agility and Working Trials. He is highly regarded as having played a major part in developing Agility and since then, together with Mary Ray, he has turned Heelwork to Music into another dog competition. Peter has been very much involved with the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme, He has written many books which are available from Canine Publications or through his web site. With all of this experience, Peter has to be one of the most knowledgeable all round dog trainers & behaviourists in Britain today.

Peter Lewis has been seriously training dogs for in excess of 40 years. He started as a pet dog trainer in 1961 and quickly went on to Working Trials and Obedience. In both disciplines he worked several dogs through all levels and won several Working Trial certificates with two of them. He went on to become a championship judge of these disciplines and while all this was occurring acted as an instructor at competition and pet dog training level. He played a large part in the development of agility where he was also successful as a handler and judge culminating with being the first KC Agility Championships judge at Crufts Dog Show 2002. Since then, together with Mary Ray he has been responsible for starting Heelwork to Music in competition form.
