I've always been interested in dogs. I just do it out of love for them.

One-on-one sessions can help if people don't have time for obedience classes. I can even train dogs if the owners aren't home, and that could be a real time-saver for people.

Part of training a dog is training the owner too. It's not very easy getting owners to admit they're wrong. No-one likes doing that.

It depends what people are looking for. If people need a protection dog, I can do that, or I can train tracking or police dogs. It's more than just obedience.

There are some residents who are allergic or just don't care much for dogs. Sophie is sensitive to that, and after being told to leave a few times she gets the hint.

It could be a disturbed person out there who's catching these animals and killing them, and also killing the dogs.
