Previous Experience
Teresa has walked dogs of all shapes, breeds, and sizes ranging from little Jack Russells, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Labradors, Spaniels, German Shepherds, Sight Hounds, Huskies and Rottweillers. She has also successfully helped many dog owners with their dogs' who have displayed problem behaviours, with results to be proud of, such as aggression towards other dogs, moving vehicles, and aggression towards people. Other behaviours have included pulling on lead, recall, and basic dog training.

Teresa has attended courses with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers. These courses have proved to be invaluable tools of knowledge for her work as a dog walker. Courses attended so far include the ‘2 Day Career as Dog Trainer', the ‘4 Day Practical Instructor Course', and the ‘Canine Aggression and Rehabilitation Course.' Teresa continues to study, developing her knowledge of dog behaviour, and aims to attend more courses in the future with a view to qualifying and gaining membership with the IMDT .
