About Puppy School Leamington Spa
Having grown up living in the countryside in a household with many varied pets, together with several members of the family being farmers or working with horses I developed a keen interest in animal care at an early age. My love of animals led me to train and qualify as a Veterinary Nurse. After qualifying, I realised I enjoyed helping to teach, assess and train student nurses in Veterinary practice, which later then led onto gaining employment and qualifying as a Further Education Lecturer, teaching on Animal Welfare courses at a local agricultural college for over 16 years, predominantly specialising in Animal Health, Animal First Aid and Animal Nutrition.I share my life with my Husband, 2 children, Mabel (our Labrador Retriever), guinea pigs and tropical fish.Since 2017, I have spent some of my spare time volunteering as a puppy socialiser at the Guide Dogs National Centre helping within a team to socialise the puppies at a critical age in their social development, which I find immensively rewarding.I am proud to have completed the extensive training provided by Gwen Bailey (Founder and Director of Puppy School and internationally renowned dog trainer, behaviourist and author) to become a qualified Puppy School Tutor. I have an up to date Canine First Aid certificate and plan to continue expanding and keeping up to date with my knowledge and to work towards accreditation as a Registered Animal Training Instructor with the Animal Behaviour Training Council.
