Mission Statement/My professional aims are:
To offer clients a portfolio of skills and knowledge to help support health and behavioural issues.
To educate owners about using herbs and essential oils to support lifelong health and wellbeing for their animals.
To promote child-dog safety awareness. I co-hosted (with Lara Leslie of Press Play)
an after-school club where kids created flip-book animations to illustrate safe behaviour around dogs.
To promote the correct fitting and use of harnesses for dog walking. I stock and fit Perfect Fit harnesses.
To promote a greater understanding of ethical animal training.
