I've loved and lived with dogs of all shapes and sizes for most of my life.

In 2018 I started fostering dogs saved from horrendous shelters in Romania and Spain.  Many of these dogs have never lived in a home and some have experienced real trauma at the hands of us humans. My family and I have now fostered many dogs and have had to learn a lot about how to help these troubled dogs to adjust and settle into happy homes.  

I wanted to learn more, so in 2020, I completed a Diploma in Canine Behaviour with the ISCP and have loved learning more about how to help our troubled canine friends using positive, force free methods. 

As I have become more involved with helping rescue dogs, working with several different rescues, I see many adopters struggling, so I wanted to help others.  I now volunteer my time supporting other fosterers and adopters, working with and fostering some of the more troubled dogs. As well as offering 1:1 support, I thought it might be helpful to share some hints and tips for some of the common issues here.  You can also follow my facebook page for regular updates.
