I have always had a passion for teaching and coaching others.
I have been a synchronised swimmer since the age of 11 and at 16 I became a synchronised swimming coach. I progressed to Head Coach at my local club, coaching a regional championship squad. This experience allowed me to work with children of all ages and develop skills that helped me inspire them to be the best they can be.
Now I share my time between lecturing 16-18 year olds at a college teaching animal behaviour and training, and helping dog owners train their companions. This allows me to combine my passion for teaching with my enthusiasm for educating the next generation of animal care professionals.

Working with me
So what do you need to know?
I love working with puppies, watching them discover the world around them and helping them become a valued member of the family that is well adapted to their individual family routine. It is extremely rewarding to be able to give each family tailored advice to enable them to train and guide their puppy to a happy future together.
If i’m not working with owners and their puppies you will find me swimming and competing as a synchronised swimmer, training my own dog Kobe or delving into the latest scientific research in dog training practice.
