Dogs have been my passion from a very young age. I became a qualified veterinary nurse in 1998 and enjoyed working in a veterinary environment, but I knew my main interest always lay with dogs. I rescued my Saluki “Bill” at 9 months old. He had a very rough start in life with no training and came to me very nervous and unpredictable. Through him I started out on a journey training him and understanding how dogs learn. My kind positive way of training helped Bill to become more adjusted to his surroundings and gave him the confidence to enjoy life again!

I worked closely with dog trainers to learn the techniques and methods to help train Bill. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to go on more courses and to start my own training company, Dingley Dell!

Since 2000 I have seen so many different types of dogs and behaviours, and I really do enjoy working with owners to help train them to have happy, contented dogs.

I believe in teaching dogs through kind, positive methods to encourage the right behaviour, as well as teaching owners to be responsible and understand their dogs.
