I started my working life as a live sound engineer believe it or not. Making things louder was my thing. Now I look to make the lives of fearful and anxious dogs quieter and calmer.
I qualified as a trainer with the Academy for Dog Trainers, one of the most rigorous dog behaviour and training programmes in the world. The Academy was devised by Jean Donaldson who is not only an amazing trainer and teacher but who I now consider to be a friend.
You may have come across me and "More Than Just A Dog" through my work with Sophie From Romania, one of the most famous fearful dogs on social media. Sophie certainly defines my process well and she highlights the need to be vigilant and patient with dogs like her. The need to go at their pace is crucial in everything I do.
But I'm not just about the dogs. I believe in compassion, understanding and kindness for the people who live 24/7 with the worries of life with a fearful dog. I hope that comes through in the pages of this book.
My training methods are entirely force-free, effective and based on behaviour science. And I'm continually updating my knowledge with the latest thinking on behaviour and training techniques, too.
