Behind every dog trainer is a story. Mine begins with Luka, and we're still learning together today.
Our journey has taught me that great dog training is about so much more than teaching dogs. It's about helping the people who love them feel supported, confident and never alone.
Luka really tested me.
I love him deeply, but there were times when I felt lost, unsure what to do, and worried I was getting it wrong. The training I came across at the time didn’t sit comfortably with me. It often felt harsh, bossy, and more about control than understanding, and it started to put a strain on our relationship.
Then we discovered game based training, and everything began to change.
Instead of feeling like I was battling against him, it felt like we were learning together. Training became something we both enjoyed, and I started to see Luka relax, engage, and make better choices without pressure. Our relationship grew stronger again, and things that had once felt difficult began to feel possible.
That experience changed the direction of my life. It is the reason I became a dog trainer, and it continues to influence the way I work today.
If you've ever felt unsure or wondered whether you're getting things right, you're not alone. The right support can make all the difference, not just for your dog, but for the relationship you share.
This journey taught me that supporting the owner is just as important as supporting the dog.
I spent years working alongside young children in Early Years Education.
I also volunteered supporting families with children under five.
And supported new parents as they built relationships with their babies through infant massage.
Different roles, but the heart of them was always the same: encouraging, supporting and helping relationships grow.
Today I am a certified, award winning dog trainer based in King's Lynn, supporting families with puppies, adolescent dogs and everyday training challenges.
My professional development includes specialist education in puppy development, canine body language, reactivity, separation anxiety, children and dogs, and dog law.
Continued learning is important to me because the more I learn, the better I can support you and your dog.
