Dogs have been part of my family for as long as I can remember. I began training my dogs at a young age & so began the addiction.

Not satisfied with training only my dogs, I began working with other people & their dogs. The aim was to help dogs become valued members of their family. So began my journey...

​

My training addiction led me to start questioning why certain dogs’ perform or behave in a certain way compared to others & my journey to understanding these reasons began.

​

I found TTouch through the need to help one of my own dogs and I qualified as a TTouch Companion Animal Practitioner (Level 1)  in October 2006. In September 2013, I qualified as a Level 2 Practitioner & in 2017, I qualified as a Level 3 Practitioner.  Not satisfied with leaving things at that, I enrolled in the COAPE C04 Certificate in The Introduction to Canine Behaviour & Training, which I completed in 2009. The study bug bit again and in April 2011, I received my COAPE Diploma in Animal Behaviour and Training. I am currently furthering my studies in Animal Behaviour.

 

Over the years, I have competed in obedience trials placing first in several of them & Theo (my GSD) & I recently achieved Gold in the Canine Good Citizen tests.

 

I have been very blessed to have shared my life with my dogs - Jessie, Kalyn & Ronen who have sadly passed, but who taught me so much. I currently share my life with Theo, who is a blessing & brings much joy. He also keeps me humble & continues to teach me so much on a daily basis.

​

To all the animals who I have had the greatest privilege sharing my life with, as well as those that I have been blessed to work with - you have been my greatest teachers.
