Zoe is a lifelong animal enthusiast whose journey into the realm of dog training began with a compelling personal experience. The adoption of her Romanian rescue dog, Deefer, who found the world around him challenging, catalyzed Zoe's deep dive into understanding animal behaviour. This venture was not just about training Deefer; it was about comprehending how he perceives his environment to better support his emotional and behavioural development.
Before making her passion her profession, Zoe had an enriching career that spanned various roles, including teen mentoring, police officer, and working in victim and mental health support.

These diverse experiences have endowed her with a unique set of skills that she now applies to the world of animal training!
Zoe's home is a sanctuary for all creatures great and small. Alongside Deefer, she has her cats Wookie and Willow, as well as a cornsnake affectionately named Pumpkin (or Colin, if you prefer). Over the years, her home has also been a haven for a myriad of small furries.
At the core of Zoe's dog training philosophy is a steadfast commitment to force-free and fear-free methods. Every session she offers is laced with compassion and empathy, focusing not just on the pet but also on the human at the other end of the leash. Her goal is to make dog training as straightforward as possible, enabling pet owners to strengthen and deepen their bond with their canine companions.
In her leisure time, Zoe finds solace in animal photography, capturing the grace and beauty of wildlife. Some of her photography highlights include breathtaking snapshots of puffins on Skomer Island and wild dolphins in the surrounding areas.
Zoe's life is a testament to what can happen when compassion meets profession. Her multifaceted background and deep-rooted love for all animals make her a truly exceptional trainer, committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of both pets and their human families!

"Zoe was incredible! Professional, patient and proved that she has great understanding of our reactive GSD. She gave us great, easy to follow tips how to manage his reactivity and put his attention on us. I could see the difference after few days! It was great to have somebody with you who can guide you and be with you on walks! Highly recommended!!!"
"My Pup Rookie and I have been working with Zoe for the last month. Rookie is a hyperactive energizer bunny of a dog. Initially he wouldn't really listen. However with Zoe's training he has become so much better. He is calmer and listens to commands without question. Zoe is brilliant and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a bit of help with their four legged friends"
