About Us 

 

I have worked with dogs for 22 years, gaining hands on experience throughout. 

 

Looking back now, I think my love for dogs grew from my grandparent’s dog Sherry; Sherry was a Golden Retriever, the same age as me, we grew up together. I remember spending most of my time whilst at my Grandparents house with Sherry. 

 

I always felt I had an affiliation with animals from a young age; with dogs in particular. I believe that my early fascination with animals, over the years, led me to want to acquire further knowledge and understanding of what animals really understood and how they learnt. 

 

I gained eight years of experience within kennel and rescue environments. It was in my early years within kennel work that I decided I wanted to work as a Canine Behaviourist; seeing such potential in so many dogs and the stress that some suffered within kennels. Working alongside troubled dogs over the years encouraged me to follow my passion. 

Sue has been our Administrative Assistant for the past nine years; holding everything together behind the scenes. Her role within the business includes being PA to Helen. 

 

Sue is in close contact with Helen daily. Sue deals with the emails, accounts, bookings and keeps Helen in order. Sue often joins us to support our events, giving you a chance to meet her. 

 

Sue does not work full time but will get back to you as soon as possible. 

Zoltan is my side-kick, my wing-man; my thirteen year old Hungarian Vizsla. He has had quite a life – we may even write a book! 

 

“Zoltan was attacked by another dog at 14 months, this had an understandable impact on him; he became scared of the lead, the dark, going out and he had become very nervous. I focused my time on his training and rehabilitation. I worked with Zoltan and his fears for months until he was back to being Zoltan. We learnt to read a lot from each other and our bond grew stronger. This experience, traumatic as it was, taught me a lot. 

 

Zoltan used to help me with many dogs at doggiedodoggiedon’t; we worked together to help other dogs and people who were scared of dogs. Zoltan worked with puppies, nervous or fearful dogs and dogs with aggressive tendencies… Every Cloud.. 

 

Zoltan has now largely retired and is happy spending his days relaxing and keeping his brother entertained. He does however still work with dogs in need and also with adults and children with ADHD, Anxiety and Autism.” 

Joska is my other wing-man, he is a six year old Hungarian Vizsla. 

 

Joska was first attacked at 13 weeks, as this happened in the critical period it has been immensely hard to work with him through this ordeal. He then was attacked again at about 16 months of age! Luckily he has lots of friends he has made since the attacks. He has got PTSD which we are now around 98% recovered and he makes us proud every day. 

 

Joska is the accident prone one of the two. He is a goon but we love him for it! 

 

As a result of a tumor in his eye, we covered a lot of proprioception, scent work and tracking for him; this helped us ensure that if he loses his eye sight that he will still be equipped and comfortable in the world round him. Joska is the scent work influence that found us both a new passion. 

 

Joska helps out now with stooging for our clients and helping other dogs along the way. He also helps adults and children with ADHD, Autism and Anxieties. Joska also helps with medical alerting.
