My husband and I began Leopold Pet Hospital in 1991. I worked as a Veterinary Nurse and Practice Manager. When Puppy PreSchool started to become popular, I started formal training in dog behaviour in order to be able to offer classes. I initially attended seminars with people such as Robert Holmes, Kersti Seksal, and Debbie Calnon before enrolling in the Cert IV in Behavioural Dog Training, graduating in 2003.
I have run my own Puppy PreSchool at Leopold Pet Hospital since that time.
I have been a trainer at Bellarine Dog Activity Group for 18 years.
I offer 1:1 help with dogs with training issues, and will refer to Veterinary Behaviour Specialists if needed.
In 2016, I met two wonderful children, and began helping them to train dogs to become their Assistance Dogs, beginning my journey in this direction.
In my other life, I am a wife, a mother of 4 grown kids and 2 growing grand-daughters. Since retiring from Veterinary work, I have built up my involvement with breeding and exhibiting my Griffon Bruxellois. I place great emphasis on breeding from good sound stock, and in raising puppies in a family environment.
