I’ve also proudly completed the prestigious  Phoenix K9 Training Mentorship, where I refined my practical training skills under expert guidance, working with a variety of dogs and behavioural profiles.

I hold an Advanced Canine Behaviour Diploma with distinction, from the British College of Canine Studies.  

As part of my mentorship programme, I’ve accessed live virtual training from world-class professionals including:

• Dr Melanie Uhde of Canine Decoded, whose neuroscience-based approach to canine behaviour has deepened my understanding of how dogs learn and thrive
• Shane Murray of Shane Murray Dog Training, known for his balanced, results-driven techniques
• Kim Paciotti, of The Empowered Puppy Programme whose expertise in early development and socialisation has shaped my approach to raising confident, well-adjusted puppies

In addition to virtual learning, I’ve also had the privilege of shadowing and working in person with leading trainers such as:

• Sean O’Shea, founder of The Good Dog, internationally recognised for his work in rehabilitation and behaviour transformation
• Niall Barnes of NB Dog Training, whose practical, compassionate style helps owners build lasting relationships with their dogs
• Jimmy Allen of Dog Pawfection, a seasoned trainer with a strong foundation in behavioural science and real-world results

These experiences have equipped me with a diverse toolkit to support dogs of all ages and temperaments.
