Background
Like most animal professionals, I have been exposed to dogs my whole life. I know just how much the human-canine bond can enhance our lives. Equally, I understand the various ways in which that relationship can break down; stress, frustration and often, a feeling of helplessness, ensue. A “normal” dog feels like an unreachable dream. I can help you return to the harmony once shared with your dog. With my experience of professionally walking dogs, working in doggy daycare, a shelter and a boarding facility, I have the confidence to immediately teach you how to safely (and kindly) manage your dog, while we work towards your longer-term goals.
