Why dogs...?

Back in 2015 I adopted two 5 month old street pups (Isla and Ishka) from Romania. They were terrified to even walk down the street. This took many months of treats, kindness and patience and we still had many fears to work through including branches blowing in the breeze and little children. I've worked in doggy daycares and understand the group dynamics between individuals which has lead me to a specialist interest in canine communication and the importance of aiding in the development of appropriate social skills from a young age. As after all, puppies need to learn these too! 

​

I believe in the importance of CPD which has led me to be studying constantly and to live and volunteer with street dogs in Morocco. I'm a qualified puppy training coach and Scent work trainer with Scentwork UK. I have previously been an Animal management lecturer at an FE college and believe the key to great learning is through discussion, practice and fun! I pride my sessions on their friendly, informal feel and ample opportunities to engage in activities and receive active feedback ​We encourage children to come along and get involved in puppy training and handling.
