Lovely to meet you!

I’m dedicated to helping guardians like you build meaningful and rewarding relationships with their canine companions.

As a qualified Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB), with years of experience and a deep understanding of canine behaviour, I have the experience to support and guide you towards creating a rewarding and harmonious life together.

With an unwavering commitment to rewarding and compassionate training methods, I prioritise building trust, understanding clear communication and creating a safe and enjoyable learning environment for both you and your dog.

I’d love to work with you. 

Why this is the only job for me

I’ve always been fascinated by the unique relationship between humans and dogs. Growing up, our family dogs had a profound impact on my life. But it was my cockapoo, Harry, who truly changed everything for me, igniting my passion for dog training and inspiring me to dedicate my life to helping dogs and their guardians.

When I first brought Harry home, I was completely in love. But soon after, he began showing signs of reactivity to other dogs, barking, lunging, and struggling to cope in everyday situations. Walking him became unpredictable and stressful, and I found myself avoiding certain places just to manage his behaviour. Desperate to help him, I sought professional advice, only to find that some of the methods I was told to use made his behaviour worse. It was heartbreaking to see Harry struggle, and I knew there had to be a better way. I wanted to help him feel safe and confident so we could enjoy our walks together again. 

That’s when I immersed myself in learning everything I could about canine behaviour. I attended countless courses, expanding my knowledge and deepening my understanding of dogs. Through this journey, I not only helped Harry but also realised my passion for supporting other guardians, like me, who simply want the best for their dogs.

What began as a journey to help Harry eventually led me to become a Clinical Animal Behaviourist and a professional dog trainer. I am also an ACE Advanced Tutor, a member of the ACE teaching team, and a tutor for The DoGenius Institute, where I support the next generation of dog trainers and behaviourists.

Today, I dedicate my life to helping dogs and their guardians live happier, more fulfilling lives together through compassionate, evidence based behaviour support and training.
