I took a roundabout way to getting to working with behaviour, starting in the early nineties working reception at a veterinary clinic and then into dog and catsitting, commercial dog walking and eventually into training as my knowledge grew.

It has been a fascinating journey learning about the science of behaviour and helping clients with their dogs. My work remains a great way to combine my love of working with people and animals both.

My goal is to help people and their dogs understand one another . The focus is on communication and understanding of the dog themselves, of the families they live with and of our responsibilities as pet owners in society.

The work and knowledge expands every year amid research into animal cognition and learning and as how we live with our pets evolves. We never stop learning and never do our dogs!
