Experienced     Non-judgemental     Highly Recommended

​

I am a dog & horse trainer, freelance writer for canine publications, co-presenter of the podcast Dog Heroes and former dog carer at the home of Channel 4's The Dog House. Working additionally as a qualified therapist within the NHS, my skills are not only in dog & horse behaviour and training but in people too! I have an empathic and non-judgemental approach to help you to achieve your canine goals, and I am here to support and guide you to get the best from your furry family member - after all, it's you I'll be teaching more than your dog or horse!

​

I have lived with dogs all my life and worked in dog rescue for 3 years, with a particular interest in rescued, adolescent, fearful and aggressive dogs. At home, I have a Belgian Shepherd Groenendahl X German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois x German Shepherd and a German Shepherd mix who are never too far from my feet! I also have two rescue ponies who I have clicker trained from scratch: one of whom is now a ridden pony.

 

Fully insured, I have completed IMDT workshops in dog behaviour and training, and am currently undergoing a level 5 diploma in dog behaviour. I am an approved member of the International Society of Animal Professionals (ISAP), The Dog Welfare Alliance (DWA), International Companion Animal Network and Professional Dog Businesses UK.

​

You can find me on Facebook at  Bright Animal Training UK, and join the Bright Dog Training Support Group here for like-minded dog guardians from around the world to share their questions, successes and experiences of all things dog & horse, and dog & horse behaviour and training.

​

And whether dog owner or professional trainer, I invite you to become a Bright Dog Training Patron here to access an exclusive treasure trove of guidance videos, how-to's, live Q&A's, resources, case discussion with peers and more.
 

I look forward to supporting you and your canine or equine companion's journeys together!
