⭐️ Very proud and honoured to have won this award for 4 consecutive years now.

It’s not about winning, although it’s nice to be recognised, it’s about helping dogs and their people to find a kinder more ethical way to train.🐶

Without my wonderful clients, who are dedicated to, and love their dogs, this wouldn’t be possible. Thank you for keeping force free training in the spotlight.

Thank you for another wonderful year.👏❤️🐾

📖 NEW BLOG NOW LIVE 📖

Can you genuinely love what you do… and still sometimes want to give up?

Absolutely.

My latest blog is inspired by my conversation with Becky Walker from BPawsitive on The Pet Business Wellbeing Podcast:

Force-Free Dog Training, Imposter Syndrome and Staying in Business When You Want to Give Up

Becky and I talked very openly about the reality behind running a dog business.

Not just the lovely bits.

We explore:

🐾 Moving from corporate life into dog training

🐾 Building a business during the pandemic

🐾 Why old-fashioned word of mouth still works

🐾 Why dog walking is far more skilled than people sometimes realise

🐾 Staying committed to force-free positive reinforcement training

🐾 Ethics and animal welfare

🐾 The culture of quick fixes

🐾 CPD and shiny course syndrome 😂

🐾 Imposter syndrome

🐾 Professional loneliness and finding your support network

🐾 Those moments when getting a “proper job” sounds very tempting

One of Becky's reflections really stayed with me:

Even if you make a difference to one person and one dog, sometimes that is enough.

We spend so much time measuring followers, income, bookings and growth that it is easy to forget the actual humans and animals whose lives are different because of the work we do.
