Dogs are my big passion in life. I am currently the proud mum to three dogs: Libby a Flat Coated/Golden Retriever cross and Evie and Scully who are both Flat Coated Retrievers.   

All my previous and current dogs have competed in agility. Libby is retired from Grade 6 while both Evie and Scully are currently taking competition classes to prepare them for an agility career while also attending gundog classes - all trained positively and reward-based. We train in Rally-O while Libby is also a therapy pet and regularly visits a local care home where she is very happy to meet all the residents and makes sure that the floors are cleared of any biscuit crumbs. 

After rescuing my second dog who was dog reactive, I began to ask myself how I could help him to be more at ease around other dogs. The conventional advice that I received made me question many methods and so I began my journey into the dog training world. 

I have now taken my passion for dogs further and incorporated it into my working life. I am a Victoria Stilwell Certified Dog Trainer (Online), have a Canine Principles Dog Coaching Accredited Diploma and successfully completed Puppylab, 30 Days of Science and Scent 4 Six with the School of Canine Science, L.E.G.S by Kim Brophey to mention just a few. Further to undergoing continuous PDP to develop my knowledge of canine training, behaviour and cognition to stay up-to-date with the latest research, developments and training techniques, I furthermore study Canine Behaviour with Canine Principles. 

I am also a full member of the Pet Professional Guild (https://ppgbi.com) which advocates force-free training, a practitioner of the UK Dog Behaviour and Training Charter (https://ukdogcharter.org) and a member of ICAN International Companion Animal Network.
