'What's the difference between a know it all and a true expert? An expert is someone who never stops learning'- Susan Garret- world class dog trainer and agility champion

​

Millie really was the inspiration for my starting my journey as a dog trainer and all round dog geek- she was my first spaniel and was pretty fab but did have some worries with loud noises and also could be an anxious soul, so in looking for tools to help her I first came across Tellington T Touch, I was blown away!! With just a few sessions of bodywork she slept through the next fireworks night and I was just amazed! This inspired me to train as a practitioner and start teaching others about this gentle no-force approach to training and handling concerns. It combines so well with other positive dog training modalities and is particularly useful in helping dogs with reactivity on lead, handling and grooming concerns and also with rehabilitation and support for dogs that are recovering from injury or surgery, or just struggling with old age related conditions such as arthritis.

​

I became an accredited member of the IMDT in 2019 after undertaking various in person and online trainings with IMDT and Dog Training College (DTC) and since then have gone on to complete Absolute Dogs Pro Dog Trainer programme and also the Pro Dog Trainer Geek programme which delves much deeper into canine behaviour and up-to-date canine neuroscience. I addition to this I have lifetime membership to DTC online programmes and am constantly expanding my skills and knowledge.

In 2022/23 I have been able to use my broad training knowledge to help clients of PAWSABLE a charity that help dog owners train their dogs to become assistance support dogs for autistic children and adults, which I have found very rewarding. 

​

My real passion since doing the Pro Dog Trainer programme is to grow understanding and awareness of concept dog training, helping owners to grow deeper understanding of their dogs behaviour and communication. This builds amazing dog-owner partnerships and enables owners to conquer behaviour challenges and struggles using fun, rewarding and effective training methods
