My Story:

I got my first dog when I left home and have loved them ever since. I was a make-up artist and then opened an award winning restaurant in Edinburgh city centre. Having dabbled in writing, I then went back to uni and got a degree in Journalism while being elected president of the students' union.
I am now a freelance journalist, working from home which is also a B&B.
My son and I are also dogwalkers. We started Jan this year and so far its been going really well.
That and the seminars and training days we attend at college and with visiting trainers and behaviourists has taught us a huge amount about our dogs.
I want to become a ttouch practitioner. Im saving up for it now.
Looking forward to making new friends on te forum
