About Me

I love dogs - large dogs, small dogs, young dogs,
old dogs – they are all special and unique and deserve to be loved and cherished.

I gained my Level 6 (degree equivalent)
qualification following 18 months of study
and residential training with the
Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training.
I am also an External Quality Assurer for the Open College Network London, undertaking Quality Assurance of Dog Behaviour related training courses.

Managing the requirements of a multi dog household, including introducing new dogs and dealing with the behavioural issues of
rescue dogs, has brought many challenges and provided me with an abundance of valuable learning and experience. We have also raised puppies and understand how important early experiences are
and how they can impact the rest of a dog’s life.

We currently have nine dogs, a mix of spaniels, retrievers and crossbreeds, three males and six females who range in age from eighteen months to twelve years old. Our dogs live indoors as part of our family. They come on holiday with us, staying in hotels and holiday cottages and visiting cafes and pubs.

I have been a volunteer home checker for dog rescues for over twenty
years and I donate handmade jewellery to rescues to help with fundraising.

We also have a cat who is small but mighty & can often be
found in pole position in front of the log burner on winter
evenings much to the chagrin of the dogs!
Our dogs have been a mixture of rescues and puppies and all of them have taught me something, some more than others.
Most of all, I have learned that they are all individuals.

I have a Level 3 Canine First Aid qualification and attended
a four day Dog Aggression workshop in October 2024.
I will be attending a Bitework for Behaviourists course later this year
