Welcome! Here's a bit about me:
I love dogs... possibly a bit too much!
After studying an animal management Diploma, I completed a Level 3 award in Canine Training and Behaviour. I am now proudly qualified with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) and am always completing new courses to increase my canine knowledge.
I've spent time volunteering at rescue centres including Battersea Dogs Home - I adore meeting and working with the new dogs that come in each week and look forward to training at various overseas rescue centres in the near future.
I love the way that dogs massively improve mental health in humans. This is a subject that I chose to study for my dissertation. Dogs make me happy - I want to help you have the best possible relationship with your dog!
My goal is to help dog owners by sharing my knowledge of the best way to train dogs - positively! Using reward-based training is a fair and effective way of training, and I want to guide as many dog parents as possible through my techniques.
As an Assessed and Qualified Member of The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers I am proud to display the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter symbol.
I am a Trusted Trainer for Therapy Dog Training UK.
