My journey with dogs began in 2015, when I was 15 years old and started volunteering at a local boarding kennel/ training facility. That experience turned into a Saturday job and eventually a full-time role lasting seven years. During this time, I completed Level 2 Animal Care and Level 3 Animal Management apprenticeships, while assisting with the training of both pet and working dogs, as well as their breeding program.

​Driven by a passion for scentwork, I completed all three programs with the College of Scent Dogs and am now a qualified instructor. I also traveled to Thailand to volunteer with the Soi Dog Foundation, gaining hands-on experience with street dogs - an insight that helps me better support UK owners with foreign rescue dogs today.

​In 2023, I turned my dream into reality by opening Watsons Dog Services. Above is my crazy, fun-loving spaniel, Max, who has been by my side since 2017. As the face of Watsons Dog Services, he is truly my right-hand man. Together, we’ve done scentwork, flyball,  obedience, and agility, building a bond that drives everything I do!
