About me

I’ve always been drawn to dogs and the deeply compassionate bond that forms between a dog and their person. Owning and training my own dog has taught me just how important it is to truly understand them, to listen, to learn, and to work together so both dog and their family can enjoy a happy, harmonious life.

In September 2025, I began formally studying dog behaviour and training, and I absolutely love it. The more I learn, the more clearly I can see the mistakes I made in the past with my own dog. That realisation has made me deeply committed to doing better, to creating a relationship built on understanding, trust, and cooperation.

My background is in trauma‑informed teaching, and that experience shapes the way I work with both dogs and people. I understand how trauma can affect behaviour, especially in rescue dogs or those who haven’t had the best start in life. My goal is to help owners build positive, supportive relationships with their dogs so they can live together with confidence and ease.

I love the outdoors, walking, camping, exploring nature and sharing those experiences with my dog is one of the greatest joys in my life. We play, learn, and grow together, and I want to help others enjoy that same connection. I believe every dog and every owner has potential, and I’m passionate about helping them unlock it.

I use positive, force‑free methods and always prioritise the relationship between dog and owner. I’m approachable, empathetic, and committed to supporting both ends of the lead.
