Founder, Creator, Head Trainer, Behaviourist, 
Dog Sports & Enrichment Specialist 

I believe in the power of enrichment as the ultimate training method, making it an essential component of effective training.

 

Throughout the training process, we focus on nurturing the bond between you and your dog, fostering both relationship-building and skill progression.

 

This approach ensures that each dog and owner are set up for success. Training is a journey not a destination.

With nearly a decade of experience working with dogs and qualified as an IMDT Instructor, behaviourist, Canine Hoopers World Instructor and Assessor, KAD (Kids Around Dogs), Scent instructor and Enrichment Specialist I bring a wealth of expertise to owners.

 

My extensive work with various families, including those with children, highlights my commitment to involving children in their dog's training journey. This not only enhances their understanding but also strengthens the bond between children and their family dogs. I work with children of all ages, including neurodiverse children, and have played a role in assisting them in training Home Owner Trained Assistance Dogs.

 

Having grown up with dogs of diverse breeds, from Afghans to Whippets, Pointers to Springer Spaniels, my profound love and passion for dogs have been a constant throughout my life. Starting my journey of learning about dogs from a young age, I've continued to develop a broad knowledge base and understanding of these incredible animals.

 

My dedication to ongoing learning is evident through attending training sessions with my own dogs, staying updated on the latest dog training theories through books and expert-led courses, both in-person and via webinars. Working with dogs and being immersed in their world is not just a job for me—it's a source of vitality.

 

I've always known that my life's calling is to work with dogs, and I love helping owners build a strong bond and connection with their canine companions.

 

My approach involves nurturing their strengths and boosting their confidence through enrichment and scientifically proven positive reinforcement training methods. 

 

The recognition I've received nationally and regionally as an award-winning professional is a testament to the quality of my training abilities and services.

 

I am dedicated to continually advancing my skills and knowledge to provide the highest level of training for every dog and owner. I would be honoured to be a part of your training journey with your puppy or dog.

Trainer, Behaviourist, Solo Walker & Home visits 

As a qualified Trainer and behaviourist, I am renowned for my compassionate, nurturing, and straightforward positive reinforcement teaching/ training methods.

With 30 years of experience in the public sector, my recent focus has been on understanding dogs—what drives and motivates them—and assisting both dogs and owners in enhancing their well-being.

I've completed various courses with the IMDT and strictly adhere to their codes of ethics, ensuring that my actions reflect honesty, integrity, and the best interests of the dog, owner, and the public.

 

My training techniques are based on scientific evidence and are force-free.

Having successfully attained a Level 4 Advanced Canine Behavior Diploma, I am committed to continuous learning and development through webinars, in-person courses, and online courses. This allows me to offer owners the best training and modification advice tailored to their specific needs and their dog's.

I hold a deep belief that every dog possesses unique and significant gifts. It's our privilege and adventure to discover each dog's special light and help them live life to the fullest.

Dogs communicate in their own way, and it's crucial to understand their language. I am here to assist you in learning the language your dog speaks.
