After years of owning/managing retail catering/coffee shops, I eventually decided to follow my passion to work with Dogs.

I have a natural affinity with Dogs and a great affection and respect for their welfare.  I invest an enormous amount of effort to ensure that all the dogs are well cared for and well handled as well as providing an excellent service for my human customers.

After qualifying as a Fun Dog Agility Coach [Distinction], which is very much based on focus and communication, I was further inspired to continue studying dog behaviour to enable a richer understanding of how our dogs learn and how we can help them thrive.

I’m fully qualified to Level 5 – Advanced Diploma – Applied Animal Behaviour (Canine), in addition to Level 4 Advanced Canine Behaviour Diploma [Distinction], Dogs & Children Certificate, plus a Dog Training Instructors Course and a Separation Anxiety Webinar.

I am also currently very involved with Brighton Dogwatch, who are an incredible non-profit, local group, based on facebook with the support of  a tremendous following of over 12.5k local people, helping reunite lost and stolen dogs in and around our region.
