“It started back when I was just 6 years old on the property of a local horse trainer for whom my father worked. As well as horses they kept packs of working fox hounds. Now, these were not family pets and were housed in barns and consisted of around 30 hounds to each pack. Every spare second I had was spent in these barns having no idea how what I was seeing would have such an impact on me later in life”.

I became director of Animals At Home West Oxford. Operating an animal ambulance working with all vets in the area and also providing a dog walking service as well as holiday care as an alternative from kennels.

 I left Animals At Home to focus on my own development in the behavioural world, learning new techniques and honing my skills to find out for myself how best to help our four legged friends.

And today, thousands of dogs later, I am still doing what I love best and that is very unlikely to change.
