Andy Lee

Four Paws Instructor and Four Paws Committee Member

Andy joined Four Paws in 2012 after he and his family welcomed Max, their second Labrador and third dog overall. Max began training in the Adult class, as it took the family some time to discover Four Paws. Andy’s goal was to train Max to a high level of obedience, which they accomplished by earning the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards in the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme.

In 2017, Andy and his wife Ange expanded their family again with Gracie-Mai, a yellow Labrador. Ange started training Gracie in the puppy class, and they too achieved the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards in the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme.

In February 2022 we lost Max which has taken us 2 years to get over. Then in June 2024 we added our fifth dog a yellow Labrador puppy by the name of Archie. Archie has passed his Kennel Club Puppy Foundation and recently passed his Bronze assessment. Andy and Archie are now working towards Silver and then onto Gold certificates in the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme.

Andy became an instructor for Four Paws in 2015, driven by his passion for helping others train their dogs to be well behaved and happy companions.
