Originally from the UK, I now reside in Sarasota, Florida.  I have gained extensive experience working with dogs since 1997 and have been professionally training for over 10 years teaching private lessons, as well as group classes.  I have experience working with behavioral issues such as reactivity; and teaching dogs and puppies life skills, manners and obedience.  I enjoy competing for fun with my dog Dexter in Agility, Lure Coursing, Competition Obedience, Rally-O, trick training and K9 Nose Work.

I am an advocate for homeless pets, assisting different rescues with advice,  evaluations and match making in any areas that I can be of help.  I sat on the Board of Directors for The North Fork Welfare League, where I also served as President. I currently volunteer for The Humane Society of Sarasota, FL.

I am up-to-date on current humane methods of training and well versed on dog behavior. I continue my education, attending Workshops, Seminars and Lectures, where I am fortunate to train alongside some of the best trainers from around the world.
