About me

I am an experienced and professional animal trainer, who is passionate about helping you reach your training goals. My approach involves no pain, fear, or intimidation and I believe that positive reinforcement is the best way to achieve success. 

I hold a BSc degree in Pet Behaviour and Welfare and previously have garnered years of experience training a variety of different dog and cat breeds. Currently, I am a member of the Pet Professional Guild British Isles (PPGBI), and a Provisional Clinical Animal Behaviourist member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC)*. 

I have a specific interest in the training of assistance dogs. I offer training through the ADUK candidacy charity RAD assistance dogs, but I understand that long waitlists and strict entry criteria can mean that joining an organisation isn't always accessible. So, I also offer training and public access tests for privately trained dogs. 

I share my life with three dogs; a Belgian Tervueren, a German Wirehaired Pointer cross, and a deaf and visually impaired spaniel, so I have a good understanding of both high-drive dogs and adapting training plans to suit dogs with specific needs. 

As well as working with dogs professionally, I train with my own dogs in various sports such as canicross and bikejoring, ringcraft, rally obedience, trick training, and gundog work.
