Having grown up with dogs, the companionship of our four-legged best friends has been a constant factor in my life. With my own dogs, I have competed in agility, heelwork to music and canicross. 

I hold a PhD in (human) psychology, but have a passion for animal behaviour and helping humans and dogs enjoy happy and healthy lives together, based on a bond of trust and respect. 

I'm guardian to the beautiful and clever Dakota, an Aussie Shepherd you'll frequently spot on these pages!
