About me

I was born in Southeast London and grew up with my family being entertained by often up to 7 small dogs. After leaving education, I worked in various industries mostly in the motor trade and then moved to Kent to raise my family. Four children, all living at home, along with my 4 Labradors. A busy life indeed!

Over the years I realised that dogs were an essential part of my life, so I began working with local rescue groups fostering dogs in need, some successfully rehomed, some who never left. Most of them had behaviour problems, trauma, anxiety, aggression, and other unwanted behaviours caused by their prior individual situations. One of them was Coco a lovely chocolate Labrador, who became aggressive with other dogs who approached her, and she was a real puller on the lead too. This caused me aching shoulders and a bad back and I began to dread taking her out. I realised that I needed help from a professional. I found Bark Busters and the local dog behaviour therapist, Andy, instantly changed mine and Coco’s life!

Since then, and after becoming a Bark Busters Dog Behaviour Therapist myself, I have helped lots of dogs and their owners to overcome the behaviour problems, with our easy and gentle training methods.
