Louise volunteered at a number of small rescue centres, working with dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents, as well as at a safari park where she worked with penguins, lemurs and squirrel monkeys.

To further her knowledge and interest in animals, she gained a Bachelor of Science (with Honors) in Animal Behaviour at the University of Chester in 2008. 

She worked at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for 10 years, working with thousands of dogs as a behaviour specialist from 2009 to 2019, gravitating towards the Rottweilers and Dobermans but also loving gaining trust from scared dogs.

One of Louise's specialities is helping dogs and owners understand the concept of consensual husbandry, advocating for stress-free vet visits and routine care. Her Happy Handling course is now being rolled out via Puppy School nationally. 

Louise became a fully qualified Puppy School tutor in 2010 (www.puppyschool.co.uk) and has trained thousands of puppies of all breeds and natures. 

Louise and Neal currently live with five dogs, three cats, a rabbit, seven chickens, a Siamese fighting fish, a royal python, a bearded dragon, a tortoise and a crested gecko. Together Louise and Neal regularly foster dogs and kittens from local rescues and particularly enjoy hand-rearing newborn puppies and kittens. Louise's latest project is running chicken training workshops for other animal trainers.

Louise is a Kennel Club Accredited Instructor, a registered Animal Training Instructor with The Animal Behaviour and Training Council and a Raw Advisor with Natures Menu.
