Currently studying Level 3 Dog Boarding Diploma

Hi everyone my name is Sally.
For 25+ years I have worked in finance, financial software, book keeping and accountancy, and I can honestly say I've never truly enjoyed it, it just happened, it paid the bills.
I have always been passionate about dogs, I love all dogs, nothing makes me smile more than watching happy healthy dogs play, and be dogs.
So earlier this year I finally decided enough was enough and time to finally work doing something I love.
I gave up the day job and started to study and study.... I have now spent time with dog behaviourists, dog nutritionists, dog groomers and dog law specialists, I’m still studying currently a Level 3 Dog career diploma (this will take me a couple more months to finish).
My council licence inspection came and wow they have granted me a top level dog boarding and dog day care licence, I’m so proud of myself, and so excited.
I have two dogs of my own a 7 year old Tibetan terrier, quite the madam, but such a cutie, and a 4 year old black Labrador - she had a litter of 10 puppies in January 2019 and we are so lucky that we are regularly in touch with all of them, Its been lovely to watch them grow.
I have two daughters who are of school age (both at seniors) much more like hard work than my dogs. My husband is a ground worker and can work away during the week, depending on the contract, so I can really indulge the dogs in my life. Luckily my girls both love dogs, walking after school is always a special time.
