Well, in truth, it all started with a dog... The kind of dog they write stories about.
"I grew up with the dream dog, Sky, the perfect family rough collie, the dog who would let us kids dress her up and play hide and seek. She was my best friend and a real life 'Lassie'! When Sky passed and the next rough collie joined the family, things were a little different. Cassie took a lot of time and efforts to train and to be comfortable around normal every day situations. When I was at university, I would spend 4 hours a day on training and socialising her. I made friends with the local dog people and built a real community down at the park, so much so that it became an official dog park! This is when I accidentally started dog walking. People would see me out with Cassie all the time and ask me if their dog could join. Little did I know, that back in 2014, Cassie would put me on the path of my dream career!
Along the way I met Zephyr, my right-hand man, a border collie born completely deaf. He was 5 week old when I fostered him, and there was no way he wasn't going to stay! He has taught me so much about using my body language over words, a language far more natural to dogs. My passion is definitely learning about what makes a dog tick, and finding ways to connect and communicate with each and every dog I work with.”
