After getting my first dog that I had to take full responsibility for and had to mind on my own I fell completely head over heels in love with her. I perused down a path to gain more information on how better to understand her and to make life better and easier for both of us. This path lead me to pursue a course with accredited qualifications and a basis in the science of dog training.
I am a qualified Canine Behaviour and Training Technician (OCN Level 4) and a certified Canine first responder.
Being certified as a Canine Behaviour and Training Technician requires continuous education and collection of CPD points yearly (Continuing Professional Development). Working with animals is an ongoing adventure and proves there is always new and better ways to educate us in the most up to date training techniques and scientific research in the field of Canine Behaviour and Training. Therefore I regularly attend workshops and seminars with industry leaders, ensuring that my knowledge is constantly informed and updated.
I have now two beautiful Cocker Spaniels and totally understand the concerns that dog ownership entails. The difficulty that comes with balancing work/life – your own needs and the needs of your dog. I also know the absolute joys it brings to build and have a wonderful relationship with your best friend.
I’m committed to providing clients with a professional, discrete and trustworthy service, and I’m passionate about developing your dog’s life skills through training, exercise, enrichment and play.
