"I started my training journey as a teenager walking and training dogs in my local area. 

Over the years, I have seen 13 puppies through my doors as part of the Guide Dogs volunteer program for puppy raisers. Through this voluntary work I also developed my mentoring skills by providing additional coaching to other local puppy raisers who were struggling with their pups.

After a while, I began working an office job to support my growing family, so my work with dogs was put on hold...

…Until 2022, when Pup2K9 was born, as a test to see if I had what it took to help people raise and train their dogs- all whilst navigating the challenge of Kobi, my own German Shepherd, who was struggling with reactivity. 

Fast forward to now and I have built a small group of clients up and I love to watch them progress and grow into self-assured dogs and owners through their training journey. 

Kobi no longer struggles with reactivity, and is a brilliant stooge dog for me."
