Hello! I’m a qualified vet, dog trainer and clinical animal behaviourist. No two days are ever alike for me. One day, you might find me performing surgery or looking after sick hospitalised patients. Another day, you might find me helping noise-phobic dogs or over-grooming cats, and if you hear the sound of excitable puppies, then you might find me in a local village hall running training classes!

My qualifications.

Sweep came into my life a few years ago. He was brought into the vet practice as a stray, injured and very thin. He came home with me and has stayed ever since.

During my postgraduate training in clinical animal behaviour, he kept a watchful eye on my progress and enjoyed nothing more than reminding me just how little I really understood about feline behaviour!

Ella, a wonderful Border Collie, was my companion for 16 years and inspired me to become a dog trainer and behaviourist.

She was a gentle, ball-obsessed beauty who learned so many tricks despite having such a clueless teacher! This started me thinking ‘what could be achieved if I actually learned about learning’ ... and so the animal training behaviour and passion began.
