About Me

Meet Susan

My values are kindness, honesty, reliability, trustworthy and I am always committed to what I do. I have recently given up my long standing dietetic post in the NHS, to focus full time on my long term desire and passion to help dogs and their owners live their best lives. I get on well with people and have vast experience in coaching and supporting patients to achieve their goals (nutritional) in my previous career. I feel this is really relevant and important as a dog trainer to be able to translate knowledge into practical advice and support to suit each individual dog and owner.

I’m super interested in dog behaviour including brain health, confidence and reactivity and get so much satisfaction from helping with this. I am also massively invested in giving puppies the absolute best start in life. I am currently developing my skills to teach scent work too.

Being the mum of an animal daft teenager, I’m very passionate about how animals can enrich family life and like to involve family in training etc. I enjoy long walks, being outdoors, teaching and socialising with friends.

I am fully insured, registered as a walker with Edinburgh council and first aid trained.
