Steph's Story

  

Like most stories begin, I’ve grown up with dogs all of my life, but it was when I got my own dog, Charlie, that was when I really started to explore the canine world further.

Charlie is a Border Collie and when he was a puppy he was HARD! Well at least at the time with no knowledge or experience, I felt he was. 

It turns out he struggled with anxiety which he displayed with some BIG feelings. Walks were tough, having visitors was hard and I just didn’t know what to do. I had very little support around me, people made me feel like I was a bad dog owner or that my dog was bad, which I know now to be total nonsense. 

I worked with various trainers, some were great, some really weren’t and over time I learned how to help Charlie. Not only did I learn how to help him, I absolutely fell in love with training and dogs and learning how they communicate. Most importantly I love being their advocate. 

So I took that new found passion and turned it into something tangible, nerded out on all things dog, got a bunch of qualifications, worked really really hard, built a business from scratch and here I am! Hello!

Supporting owners and dogs has pretty much become my life, and I’m totally cool with it.
