​Although I originally aspired to become a vet, my career began in Human Resources, where I spent 20 years as a consultant before returning to my true passion—working with dogs.

 

Like many owners, I experienced first-hand the challenges of living with dogs displaying separation anxiety, reactivity, and destructive behaviours.  Working with a professional behaviourist transformed not only my dogs but  also my understanding of canine communication, inspiring me to retrain and build a practice focused on understanding behaviour, not simply managing it.

 

I founded Hounds 'n' Harmony in 2016 after qualifying as a Canine Behaviourist and have continued to expand my expertise through advanced study, including Jan Fennell's Graduate Programme in Canine Language and Behaviour.  In 2017, I introduced exclusive home boarding, and in 2024, I added Kinesiology to provide a more holistic approach that supports both dogs and their owners.
