Get to know me
I grew up on a farm with cattle, chickens, horses and dogs in the Douro-Dummer area. I rode, trained and evented horses throughout my youth. I completed a degree in Biology and Anthropology at Trent and then did my Masters degree in Biology at Laurentian University. I have worked as a fish and wildlife biologist for over 15 years and in 2011 I moved to Campbellford with my family.
I have shared my life with many dogs. Together we have done some flyball, obedience, rally and basic agility.
In 2022, inspired by a couple of my Trouble Butts who needed more help than I knew how to give I decided to study with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. I'm now turning my love of dogs into helping others to enjoy their lives with their own dogs.
