My passion and love for dogs/puppies started when we got our first family pet 'Nancy' when I was a child, from having Nancy in my life I grew fascinated by these incredible animals and knew I had to spend my life working with them. Since then I have worked with dogs from the age of 16 with my first job being a Kennel Assistant, I learned so much about dog behaviour and care in this job. I stayed in this job for the time I was at Sparsholt College where I studied a Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Animal Management and then went on to do my Level 2 in Dog grooming. After I left college I opened my very own dog grooming business (in 2020) at the age of 19 and have been working as a dog groomer for 4 years now and still do this as my full time job, this job has taught me so many skills including patience, the ability to read dogs body language and obviously clipping and scissoring skills.
In 2021 I welcomed my very own puppy into my home, we attended puppy school and loved it so much I decided to train to become a puppy school tutor so I could help other puppy owners. Ivy and I have continued with lots of training over the last 3 years and we now compete in agility competitions. She truly is my best friend and has showed me my huge love and ambition for dog training.

I currently offer classes in New Alresford, these classes are kept small with a maximum of 6 puppies per class so that I can give everyone the attention and care that they need. Classes are for beginner puppies and pups do not require any level of training prior to classes.
