What do you love most about your job?
I have had dogs all my life, including a Collie cross called Patch, Chip a Poodle x Westie, two Cocker Spaniels (Bruce and Bel) and a Spanish Podenco cross called Reba.
I am fascinated by canine/human dynamics, both for single dog households and those where there are multiple canine/human interactions.
When clients achieve their goals with their companion makes me fell humble sharing their success.
With an Advanced Diploma in Canine Behaviour Management, I am a full member of the APDT (membership no 01269) and am proud to follow their code of conduct of kind, fair and effective dog training using positive reinforcement. Additionally I hold membership of the Guild of Dog Trainers (GODT) and the Pet Professional Guild UK.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My own dog Bob the JRT inspired me to learn understand about why and how dogs learn ans how they behave.
Bob unfortunately started to behaviour very aggressively towards humans and our other pets ! He is no longer with us as we decided to have him PTS
as he had developed a frontal brain tumour which was effecting his behaviour.
Why should our clients choose you?
I listen and understand and have empathy.
My training and behaviour methods are kind, fun, effective, positive reinforcement.
I surround myself with positive people and learn from the best.
I began my formal training with Sarah Whitehead’s Alpha Education and Clever Dog Company. She is a pioneer in the world of training – using only positive methods. I continue to grow and learn through her leadership, focus days and theory and am very proud to hold a Clever Dog Company Method Training License.
