My introduction to positive reinforcement training was slightly unconventional in that it began with chimpanzees – using my training knowledge to support the health and wellbeing of the rescued primates in my care. This then opened up a whole new, wonderful world to me. Needless to say I fell in love with this type of training and wanted to make it the focus of my career. Pairing this with my love of dogs I was then fortunate to become a professional assistance dog trainer for Guide Dogs UK; and now bring the same knowledge forward to working with pet dogs.

Personally, there is nothing more rewarding than building a trusting relationship with a dog and watching them grow in both skill and confidence through your support and training.
