ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about understanding and meeting the needs of our dogs through training, play, socialisation, enrichment, nutrition & health and began my training journey in 2019.

​

Following a law degree, my working life began in primary education where I spent 14 years. Illness unfortunately took away the imminent prospect of a Headship.

After many months recovering, I spent 10 years on a range of country estates and farms in Sussex, Lincolnshire, Devon, Hampshire & Wiltshire managing a wide variety of projects.

​

In 2015, I established Calne Pet Supplies, an independent pet shop highlighting the best of natural foods, treats and health & wellbeing supplements.

I sold the shop in August 2024 and now focus purely on my passion for dogs and training!

​

When time allows, I enjoy the chance to relax at home which I share with my incredible partner Matt, Kermit our Black Labrador and my wonderful stooge dog, Ruby our adopted English Bulldog and numerous ex-battery chickens.

I love all things country and coastal, walking, wildlife, gardening, baking & reading and never refuse a visit to a tearoom or a dog-friendly pub!

​

Dogs have played a key part in my life for nearly 60 years.

I have always looked to enjoy life to the fullest with them all and am now devoted to supporting others to be able to do the same.

Dogs lives are just a fraction of ours, so let's fill them with love, respect, understanding, trust, fun and endless happiness through meaningful learning.
