My passion for dogs and desire to improve the quality of life for dogs and their families has led me to the creation of Puppy School Hollywood.

​

Following extensive training with Gwen Bailey (founder of Puppy School and internationally renowned dog behaviourist) and Vicky Davies (Regional Manager for Puppy School) I knew that helping other new dog owners was my key goal in life.

​

I share my life with my husband, my two dogs, and our cat. My fur babies are Nanuk, an Alaskan Malamute and Nala, a Siberian Husky, plus our ginger moggy. My love of sled dogs was born through ski holidays in Canada and North America, providing us with the opportunity to take dog sled tours through the Rockies. My change of career led to us having the time to invite a Malamute into our lives and Nanuk continues to be the heart of our home. in 2016, we had the privilege of adopting Nala into our family and offering her a forever home.  The Puppy School principals and training have helped both dogs become well mannered, sociable and beautifully behaved dogs. We even have the luxury of being able to walk them both off lead.

​

Puppy School allows me to meet so many incredible dogs and their owners, helping them improve their understanding of one another along the way. I am a total advocate of reward based training and continue to be amazed by the success that this simple training methodology brings.

A lifelong dog lover with over 35 years experience working and living with dogs.

​

Experienced in working with all kinds of dogs from rescue to puppies, I have formal training through Puppy School and Gwen Bailey (founder of Puppy School and internationally renowned dog behaviourist) to underpin my passion for improving dogs lives.

I assist Sarah to help owners get the very best from their dogs.
