It was during her time as a veterinary nurse that an interest in animal behaviour developed into a vocation that continually brought her great pleasure. The number of books she owns, and the courses and seminars she has attended shows a near obsession with dog training and behaviour. Whilst now it feels a bit like all that knowledge is lost forever, there is warmth and comfort to be taken from the number of dogs and dog owners Mum has influenced over the years and the lessons she has given that will benefit generations of dogs to follow.
