My late good friend Oli Juste was a huge influence on my decision to change career, moving from stage management in the West End to working professionally with dogs. He not only mentored me, but played a vital role in my studies and in helping me build the foundations of my business. I set up my business in September 2017 and I truly haven’t looked back since.

​

I am a full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT, membership no. 01494).

I achieved a Distinction in the Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour (Canine), Level 5, through Compass Education.

​

I have completed the UK Sniffer Dogs Bronze and Silver Instructor qualifications, alongside a wide range of scentwork courses including Scent for Six with The School of Canine Science and Nosework with Fenzi Dog Sports Academy. I am also a CPD-certified Pet First Aider.

​

I have a real passion for pet gundog training. Pet gundog training is particularly relevant in London, where a huge number of dogs are gundog breeds or gundog crosses, often without their owners even realising it. Spaniels, retrievers, pointers and their mixes are everywhere, and they were bred to use their noses, eyes and brains all day long. When those instincts aren’t given a suitable outlet, they don’t switch off. I am dedicated to providing dogs with these outlets, helping them channel their natural instincts in ways that meet their needs, build confidence, and make everyday life calmer and more enjoyable for both dog and owner.

​

I am a reward-based trainer and believe strongly in using kind, fair and positive methods. My goal is to help you build a clear, trusting relationship with your dog and to give you the tools and confidence to communicate effectively, in a way that feels supportive, achievable and enjoyable for both of you.
