About Me

Originally born in West Sussex in the UK. My passion started from a very young age, being brought up on a farm, coming from a big family with 8 siblings and every kind of animal you could think of, horses and dogs being the main I was handling day in day out.

At the age of 4, we moved to beautiful Jersey in the Channel Islands,

I was extremely lucky to have such a fulfilled childhood surrounded by animals.

In my early twenty’s, I bought my first Boxer Lily! I had always been round Boxers and had a passion for the breed, the opportunity came up to adopt her.

Lily is why I do what I do, she certainly put me through my paces for the 10 years we were lucky enough to have her, she was the best teacher I could have ever asked for, she tested my ability and skill and had me stiving to understand canine behaviour, she was a great reminder training is for life and dogs are completely depended on our guidance and ensuring we arw maintaining their training on a daily basis.

In 2015 i became certified in Animals Management, canine training and behaviour, continuing my journey with The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers getting my IMDT- BC Level 4 Canine Behaviour-Consultations Foundations and Functions of Behaviour. I Have completed my Masters in Aggression with Michael Shikashio in addition to studying Behaviour for next 3 years with The school of canine science taking every opportunity to continue studying by enrolling in the most up to date studies available in our industry to ensure we can offer the best possible service for you and your fur babies.

At Positive Paws we strive to create the best possible relationship between you and your canine friend. We offer 1 on 1 sessions to help you understand the reasons for your dog’s behaviour. From puppy socialisation and the basic commands, day-trains, training walks to the more intense board and train. We specialise in working with complex cases such as anxious, aggression and reactive behaviour.
