London is an incredible city and Iām proud to have been born and bred in my hometown of Hackney and Iām currently based on the Hackney/Islington border.
After a bereavement, I was at a loss where to go with my life and someone suggested following my passion.

I started a dog walking business and soon realised I wanted to engage my brain more and discovered the IMDT.
I began studying, shadowed a number of brilliant trainers and got a job as a trainer running classes.
I didnāt want to start my own business until I knew I was good at what I do and I know that now.
I LOVE MY WORK!
I feel the luckiest person in the world to do this for a living.
Iām honoured to be part of the rich tapestry of peoples, cultures and their canine friends.
My future goalsā¦
Iām obsessed with Scent-work and the benefits it has for dogs. Iām studying 2 x major courses on that this year.
My aim in the next 3-years is a PHD in Anthrozoology.
Dogs have woven themselves into our own evolution and these incredible creatures are ones we owe a debt to.
By training with kindness, with play and with a deeper understanding of their psychology, I can help you achieve that.
Whatever your breed of dog, outside of many studies and schools I partake in, a passion of mine is studying breed history and their working history.
I have passed my Level III & IV Canine Behaviour Qualifications and I am finishing my final Level V assignment in the process now.
This means, in a few months I will be a fully qualified Canine Behaviourist. (Which will Oslo allow my work to be paid by some Pet Insurance plans).
This gives me a much deeper insight into how each breed have individual needs and drives that affect their behaviour.
