Ruby turned 1 today and couldn’t decide which boyfriend to share her cake with, so she invited both. Guess she’s already mastering the art of having her cake and eating it too.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Meet our new Brand Manager

Mark Webster has been working with dogs from a very young age. He is a natural dog handler with an innate understanding and exceptional ability with dogs. Mark recently completed his Level 4 Diploma Qualification in Professional Dog Training Instruction through the Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training (CIDBT). Additionally, he has attended several of their advanced practical courses focusing on dog aggression and advanced dog training.

Mark is regularly invited to collaborate with CIDBT tutors, assisting in handling dogs for assessments and rehabilitation training, particularly in cases of dog-to-dog aggression. He is a much valued member of their team and also serves as a temperament assessor for the British Rottweiler Association.

Beyond his training and behaviour practice, Mark runs 'Country Tails' – a specialist dog care centre catering to all breeds, with a specific focus on guarding breeds and giant breeds such as the St. Bernard and Great Dane. His unique skills in handling and training large groups of dogs shine through in this setting.

Mark has a deep love for all dog breeds and has owned a wide variety himself, ranging (quite literally) from the Chihuahua to the Great Dane. However, he has a particular fondness of the Rottweiler and the European Dobermann, and he currently shares his home with these breeds along with his scruffy rescue dog and often any other dog that may find itself in need of a home!
