Despite wanting to be a vet when I was younger, I fell into the world of Human Resources (HR) and worked as a Consultant for 20 years, before I finally followed my childhood dream to work with animals, with my passion and love for dogs being at the forefront of what I do.  

 

Growing up, I was never without a dog, and was saddened to see the amount of stray dogs roaming the streets, and often wondered how owners could discard their dogs in this way. It was only when I moved into my own house and acquired two Border Collie puppies that I got an answer to that question.  Their behaviour was out of control, Separation Anxiety, Reactivity, Destruction, they had it all, and it was destroying my life, relationship and home.  Enough was enough, I called in a Dog Behaviourist, and after only 48-hours of following simple techniques, the problems diminished considerably.  He helped me to comprehend where I had gone wrong, and the importance of being able to understand the canine language, which prompted my career change many years later.   

 

In 2016 after having re-trained as a Dog Behaviourist, I founded Hounds 'n' Harmony and went on to train further with an amazing lady called Jan Fennell.  In 2017, after sadly loosing my own dog, I added Exclusive Dog Boarding to my services and in November 2024 I added Animal Kinesiology to my services.
