Karen's work focuses on training and rehabilitation of dogs - and their owners! She has specialised in behaviour and puppy work for the last few years, but her dog career has ranged from class teaching, obedience, flyball, agility and working trials competition to running a popular dog display team. When she started her own family Karen realised there was a genuine need for one-to-one help with dogs in the family environment. Her passion is to create and rebuild the 'enjoyment factor' that can come from family dog ownership.

Karen strongly believes that there is 'always a way' and prides herself on her commitment to uniting families with their dogs.

Karen has a number of famous clients including politicians, film directors, journalists, models and television personalities and is noted for her down-to-earth friendly approach. She is a regular contributor to Dogs Today Magazine.
