About Me
I’m , a passionate dog trainer and certified Mantrailing UK Instructor based in Hampshire. Since 2021, I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all breeds and personalities—helping owners build confidence, trust, and stronger relationships with their four-legged companions.
My journey began with my Miniature Schnauzer, whose love of adventure inspired me to turn my passion for animals and the outdoors into a career I adore. Spending time with dogs has always brought me happiness, and now I get to share that joy with others by helping people and their pets understand each other better.
I understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family. You can trust me to treat them with the same care, kindness, and respect I show my own. My clients appreciate my reliability, compassion, and the calm, encouraging atmosphere I bring to every session.
🐾 My Training Approach
Gentle guidance. Lasting results.
I use force-free, positive reinforcement techniques that promote learning through trust, consistency, and reward. This gentle and effective approach helps dogs feel confident, builds stronger communication, and makes training fun for everyone.
Every dog is unique, so I create personalised training plans that suit your dog’s personality, pace, and goals. Whether it’s puppy training, recall, loose-lead walking, reactivity, or confidence building, I’ll work closely with you to make sure your dog learns in a way that feels positive and successful.
Training shouldn’t be stressful — it should be something you and your dog enjoy together. My friendly, relaxed style ensures that both owners and dogs feel supported and comfortable as they learn. Together, we’ll help your dog become the best version of themselves.
🎓 Experience, Learning & Qualifications
Always learning, always improving — for you and your dog.
I believe that learning never stops—especially when it comes to understanding dogs. I’m constantly updating my knowledge through hands-on workshops, professional seminars, and online training so I can provide you with the best, most up-to-date guidance possible.

MANTRAILING
Unleash your dog’s natural instincts!
Mantrailing is an exciting scent-based activity where your dog learns to follow a specific human scent trail — and they absolutely love it! It’s suitable for any breed, age, or ability, and it’s a wonderful way to boost confidence, focus, and trust between you and your dog.
As a certified Mantrailing UK Instructor, I’ll guide you step-by-step as you and your dog discover the thrill of teamwork. You’ll be amazed at what your dog can do when given the chance to use their natural instincts.
