"Dogs in the Wood allows me to combine my love of the outdoors with my passion to promote happy healthy dogs through exercise, positive training and care".

Dogs in the Wood is the realisation of a personal dream allowing me to be with dogs all day, while at the same time providing a practical solution for people who need to combine responsible dog ownership with a demanding lifestyle.

I think I was born besotted with animals.  I  progressed through a typical pattern of pet ownership, from guinea pigs and tortoises through to Ping Pong the cat. I was finally  given Pippen, my first dog, on my seventh birthday. 

On reflection I also think dog training was in my blood.  Poor Sheba a local stray was raced around a home made 'gymkhana' course, long before I became familiar with 'dog agility'. 

My move back to rural surroundings allowed me to rekindle my love of dogs.  After two years of walking  rescue and friends dogs, a switch 
to home working meant that I could finally adopt Tegs.  Three years later, a trip to a  rescue centre in Wales resulted in the adoption of my second Welsh collie,  Misty.

Once Tegs and Misty had taken up  residence there was  no going back.  In 2012 I was able to give up work and follow her long term goal of working with dogs.
