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.
​
Previously, I spent 14 years in primary education rising to Deputy Head.
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 a wonderful stooge dog, Ruby our adopted British 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!
​
I have always looked to enjoy life to the fullest with my dogs and want to support others to be able to do the same.
Dogs lives are just a fraction of ours, so let's fill them with safeness, mutual respect, trust, fun, love and happy learning.
