Heeling Hounds Proprietor, Sharn Warby
For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by animals. According to family lore, when I was two I got upset when my Grandad mowed the lawns, as I was scared it would hurt the worms! I was particularly fond of dogs, marvelling at each one I saw and excitedly asking their owners questions. That core curiosity never left me, and when I graduated high
school in 2016, I got a job at a dog daycare, and have been in the industry ever since. Over the past five years I have had the good fortune to work alongside a number of talented trainers in a variety of settings. I constantly pushed myself to find opportunities, gain experience, and build confidence to successfully manage my own pack. I can now draw upon insights and training techniques I have learned to bring out the best in each dog according to its individual nature. They are so sincere with their interactions and in their body language. I could watch them for hours and learn endlessly, not only about training but how to live my own life, and perceive the world. So now my curiosity has developed into a passion, a desire to give back to dogs, to improve their life as they have improved mine. It fills me with joy and pride to watch the progress of the dogs I work with. Seeing them develop in confidence and strengthening their relationships both with their owners and with my pack. Instrumental to this success, is providing a structure that helps them better understand ‘our’ world and how to interact within it, for a happy outcome. I believe that with clear communication, guidance, and consistent boundaries, together we can nurture a healthy lifestyle for you and your dog.
