KPA-CTP (she/her)
Growing up in Sweden, I always had a love of animals. Dogs, cats, horses and bunnies all played a huge part in my life. In fact, there was that one time when I was sold two “female” rabbits, and unknowingly became a rabbit breeder!
Fast Forward
To when I got my beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Blake, 7 years ago. Blake was everything I had ever dreamt of, the most mischievous, beautiful ball of fluff, yet some days I would find myself in tears feeling completely overwhelmed. How was I supposed to know if I was doing everything right? I asked family and friends, but the advice was conflicting and confusing. I also received a lot of advice which just didn’t feel right.
7 years later, and I am still as passionate about the puppy training journey. I know first-hand the ups and downs, overwhelm, worries, endless questions and concerns that come with bringing a new furry family member into the house. So, I have developed a service to make this journey as smooth and joyful as possible and to offer you the guidance and support I wish I had all those years ago.
I am a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy (the Oxford and Cambridge of Dog Training), a registered animal training instructor with the Animal and Behaviour Training Council and finally, I am Fear Free Certified and passionate about helping animals feel comfortable in the veterinary setting.
Fun Facts:
- I am not only experienced training dogs and puppies, but other species as well. As a requirement for one of my qualifications I trained my rescue hamster, Francis.
- I am due to undertake training at Wild Zoological Park where I will be training at least 4 different species (including Lemurs!)
- When I first moved to London I undertook a degree in songwriting. Although very different practices, I still use a lot of the skills I learnt from songwriting in dog training. They both require creative solutions!
