My name is Shannen and dogs have always been a passion of mine. I shared my childhood with two huskies – greatly developing my experience training intelligent, independent, and high energy working breeds. I love the active dog-owner lifestyle and I currently care for a small companion dog, Lucy the Chi-poo, who is adored by everyone who meets her, as well as two rabbits.

My canine experience includes four years’ employment as a seasonal boarding kennels worker and I have also provided dog walking and sitting services for family, friends, and neighbours for the last 10 years – caring for a variety of sizes, ages and temperaments.

I graduated in 2022 with a Bsc (Hons) in Animal & Conservation Biology, achieving a Level 9 qualification in Animal Behaviour and pet care at Level 7, and I previously achieved a Level 6 qualification in Psychology from Fife College.

It was during my intense final year at university that I realised I need an outdoorsy job which is challenging, exciting, and relaxing at the same time – and canine work is just that for me. I offer my services to any and all dog breeds to gain a wider range of experience.

I am currently studying with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), to progress the business into training and behaviour, and aiming to offer these services in the future.
