Amanda lives in Portishead with her family of four children and 3 year old Standard Poodle, Rocco
and Bluebell the Ragdoll cat.

She started Dog walking in January 2014 and over these years  spent time working with hundreds of dogs and their owners. Amanda enjoyed observing the dog’s behaviour and interactions and realised that to be a responsible dog walker, one must arm themselves with lots of knowledge. This started her journey into the world of dog training.
