I grew up amongst cows, sheep and country sized dogs in Derbyshire. After spending a decade teaching in London primary schools I traded the classroom for the park and haven't looked back.
Being outside with the dogs is a truly wonderful experience, especially when we have the park to ourselves! If it's really cold you may even catch me wearing trousers..
I am a Kiwi living in London, I like to be outdoors despite the weather, and having companions to share my walks with is a huge bonus! My love of all things four legged started at a young age: My family owned a pet shop and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits and even peacocks.
As a teenager I worked at a marine zoo where I later became a trainer, working with dolphins, sea lions, fur seals and otters.
My training philosophy stems from this work: I believe in positive re-enforcement techniques and calm, consistent behavioural management.
