ABOUT ME

PUPPIES
.
My speciality is helping people achieve their dream of having a happy, well-behaved puppy!
With the right advice from the start struggles can usually be prevented from ever occurring.
Bringing a new puppy into your house can be hard. Puppy Blues are a very real phenomena that many people experience.
Whether you need help finding a puppy, with early preparations and first night questions, or Bespoke 1:2:1 Training, Puppy and Dog Training Classes, I can help you get things right

ADULTS
I can help you achieve your dream of having a dog who is a joy to have around.
I have struggled myself and know how emotionally draining and isolating it can be to struggle alone. Together we can turn those struggles into strengths.
Experience has taught me that not every dog can be turned into a social butterfly. My aim is to work with the dog in front of me and to help them to be the best version of themselves they can be.
This applies to ALL dogs from Teenage Tearaway to worried Rescue Dogs and Dogs who Bark and Lunge
I will support and help you at every stage of your journey

ME
I was born into a family of animal lovers and have seen training methods change a lot, experiencing both 'Balanced' and 'Reward-Based' approaches and have settled on the latter.
I am also an Early Years Teacher (retired) and there are a lot of parallels with how under fives education has changed too. Needless to say, I am extremely patient and calm!
Although the dog training world in the UK is unregulated I have invested in meaningful professional qualifications.
