About Me

I have always had a deep love and understanding of dogs and I have spent the last 20 years working professionally with them, supporting dogs and their owners across Muswell Hill, Wood Green and the surrounding North London areas.

​

My journey began 25 years ago, when I adopted my first dog from Battersea Dogs Home — a German Shepherd cross who very quickly became my soul mate. He was a wonderful dog, but he was also a handful, with the kind of challenges that can test even the most devoted owner: he could not be left alone at home and would often pick fights with other dogs. Wanting to understand him properly and help him thrive, I completed a two-year course in Canine Behaviour & Training at Bishop Burton College with Distinction. In many ways, he is the reason I found my path working with dogs.

Since then, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, temperaments and ages and I have learned something from every one of them. The more time I spend with dogs, the more I appreciate how much they have to teach us about patience, communication and trust. I bring that understanding into every walk, every home visit and every training session.

​

I am DBS-checked and fully insured and I know how important it is to feel confident when you leave your dog in someone else’s care.

My approach is calm, kind and practical, with a focus on helping each dog feel safe, settled and understood. I always aim to provide the same level of care I would want for my own dog.

​

If you are looking for support with your dog’s training, behaviour or day-to-day care, I would love to hear from you.

I’m always happy to have a chat about your dog and how I can help.
