Dog sit & pet visit service covering Bristol BS5 area. Insured & canine first aid qualified.
Owned by my Bath Dogs and Cats home rescue Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross (for the past 6 years) has made me climb a steep learning curve with him being a lovely handful and my first dog. Through my dog ownership and training journey I have become extremely passionate about dog training & behaviour and consequently working with dogs. I volunteered regularly for several years at Hollyhedge Animal
Sanctuary. This has given me a substantial amount of experience in working with anxious/reactive dogs as well as a large variety of breeds.
In addition, I am also an Assistant Dog Trainer at Bristol Dog School and love to keep up-to-date with dog training and behaviour by attending courses, workshops and seminars.

Please be careful with who you chose as a dog trainer/behaviourist.
This fab post by Nanci Creedon Dog Behaviourist highlights the reasons why.
Sadly the dog industry has gone backwards recently despite all the extensive knowledge that's been around for decades highlighting there is absolutely no need for "aversive" or "balanced" methods to be used.
Why train causing pain/discomfort (essentially abusing a dog) when can achieve the same if not more using kind methods... it's a no brainer!

So I've had to keep quiet about this but the cat's allowed out the bag now... myself and Rusty will be on TV tonight 😬📺
Here are the deets:
We'll be on the The One Show tonight airing at 7pm in the BBC Watchdog segment talking about Many Pets and their crazy beyond reasonable insurance premium hikes!!
Those that know me well know it's totally out of my comfort zone to be on national TV but had a story to tell and hopefully will hold to account those insurers who are clearly taking advantage of the bond we have with our pets....
