About:
I’ve always had a passion for animal behaviour so creating a business that could incorporate this seemed the logical thing to do!

Since I was a little girl, in one way or another my learning and development has always evolved around some sort of animal behaviour, welfare and care.

Six years ago, I became the proud owner of a German Shepherd called Shadow. She is my rock and inspiration, who always helps me tap into my ‘inner dog’.

My inbuilt love of animals runs through my veins and is in my blood, which is why I believe I can deliver such a unique and special service.

With a solid foundation in Zoology, specializing in animal behaviour through a 2.1 BSc Honours degree attained in 2012, I have honed my expertise as a dog trainer over the years. Since becoming an accredited trainer with the IMDT in 2020 and earning approval as a Kids Around Dogs trainer upon its launch in 2021, I've continually expanded my skill set and knowledge through a proactive approach to professional development.

Regular attendance at webinars and business conferences hosted by industry luminaries such as Victoria Stilwell, Michael Shikashio, Chirag Patel, and The Mutty Professor underscores my commitment to staying at the forefront of the field, ensuring I provide the most effective and up-to-date training solutions for both dogs and their owners.

Throughout my studies of animal behaviour, I’ve seen and read about lots of different techniques and practices, but it is Chirag Patels’ approach that I base my own work around….

Animal behaviour ‘Teaching with Head and Heart’ -Chirag Patel

I believe you…

‘never stop learning’ and that it’s important to stay on top of the game!

In my spare time my husband and I enjoy taking our dog Shadow to K9 Detective work training. If we’re not training, we’re usually found in the woods laying tracking trails or exploring new places!

So basically….

My love and devotion are reflected in every aspect of my work. You can trust me to be reliable and be confident that you will be receiving a top class training service!.
