About Me

 I have been in the canine behaviour industry for 18 years. I have a BSc degree in ‘Applied Animal Behaviour and Training’, specialising in canine training. I have worked as a University Lecturer teaching about animal behaviour, and I currently work for a charity who train assistance dogs.

I keep up to date with modern and scientifically proven knowledge and have travelled as far as Chicago in America for my professional development, learning from the best in the world. Dogs are my specialism and I have trained a huge variety of breeds, types and ages. I have also been lucky enough to train other animals such as horses, whales, primates, tortoises and alpaca!

Leo the Border Terrier is responsible for my love of dogs. He ruled The Den for 14 years and taught me that life definitely is, better with a dog.

 

Izzy joined the pride in 2008 and has been my best friend ever since. Together we conquered agility and flyball before she enjoyed a peaceful retirement on the farm. We lost Izzy is 2023.

 

Spud arrived in 2024 just in time for Christmas. He may only weigh 6kg but he more than makes up for that in personality with his endless energy and enthusiasm for life. Most of all he likes being a tractor dog.
