My Story
I have always loved animals. One of my earliest memories is discovering a kitten in a box in our living room and being delirious with joy. Since then caring for animals was a constant and continuous passion including stray dogs, cats, rodents, injured birds and reptiles! Caring for other people’s animals through the Cinnamon Trust and RSPCA opened my eyes to the incredible diversity of people’s relationships with their pets. I sought out and trained with the best in order to provide a first class service helping people with their pet dogs and cats. I continue to work closely with the same charities in the spirit of nurturing and sharing the benefits of my experience and education.
I provide 1-2-1 training, covering all the essential skills to help make your companion dog a much envied and loved member of the community. I am qualified to offer behavioural counselling for those challenged with more serious problems being a provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC), which means having gained the relevant academic qualifications I am gaining the practical experience necessary for full membership.
