I was born and raised in Heathfield, East Sussex, so I know this area quite literally like the back of my hand! I have adored animals since I can remember, with dogs being my absolute favourite! (One of my earliest memories is of getting told off at school for writing too many stories about dogs – apparently I had to expand my horizons!)

​

After sitting and passing 14 GCSE’s I went onto Plumpton College to study a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and finished with D*D*D! I then went straight on to an Animal Science Degree.

 

As part of my degree I was given the opportunity to travel to South Africa to help on a game reserve. We worked closely with the staff there and helped them to do research into the animals and we even got to help the canine anti-poaching teams to protect the Rhino that they had on site. It was amazing to see how much difference dogs have on their lives out there!

​

Most recently I have studied an advanced Level 4 Diploma in Canine Behaviour whilst I was helping out a local gundog trainer, who also won Kennel Club’s trainer of the year 2021, in her classes. But after a year I decided I wanted to take the plunge into the world of dogs on my own!

​

Dog Days East Sussex was born in September 2022 and I haven’t looked back since! I am an Accredited Mantrailing Global Instructor as well as a Dog trainer and walker and use my belief in positive reinforcement in every aspect of my life with dogs.

​

I absolutely adore what I do and whether I am walking, trailing or training, I can guarantee that I am putting my heart and soul into doing what is best for your best friend.
