I have had a lifelong interest in dogs – starting at the age of just 9 – the moment my Dad gave me my first dog and I began training him. When I should have been reading my school books, I was instead, reading books on dog training. By the time I was 12, I knew every breed of dog in the Collins Encyclopaedia of Dog Breeds.

Throughout my teenage years, I trained dogs for obedience and agility competitions. I brought them up to the RDS in Dublin for dog shows. It was my dream to train dogs for movies or guide dogs for the blind. I simply had a way with dogs, and training them was a skill that came naturally to me.

Having studied psychology, I completed a BA in anthropology, followed by a Master’s degree. I worked in this field for a numbers of years but never lost my desire to work full time with dogs.

I wanted to know how they understood the world, how they learned and how I could better train them. In 2008 I decided to revisit my childhood dream of being a dog trainer.

Working as a dog walker in New York was my starting point and on my return to Ireland, I completed a course in ‘Canine Obedience and Training’ and then I studied canine psychology and behaviour, and each year I attend animal training seminars all over the world on the subject.

I have being a professional dog trainer for over 10 years and achieve great results for all my clients.
