Experienced Dog Mad🤗 Dog Trainer
I'm a Psychology Undergrad at Cambridge Uni but a dog handler in my summer holidays! The one thing all my extended family and parent's friends knew about me as a child was my dog mad reputation. From toddlerhood, I would smile the biggest smiles when I got to meet a dog. My parents would make up for not getting me a dog by dog sitting our friend's dogs, often for weeks. A large brown lab called Denby was only rivaled by Kate, a golden King Charles Cavelier, in my affections, and both would greet me with wags that shook their whole body, accompanied with enthusiastic noises and licking, when their owners passed them over. On two week camps we would go on every year with a large friendgroup, I would always be found cuddling Tickles, another King Charles Cavelier but gorgeously tricoloured. Honestly my love affairs with dogs are endless! Every evening after we moved at 13, I played with the neighbour's border terriers, teaching them routines we performed together. I loved it so much I set up a dog training/walking/sitting business in my gap year by posting a film of my routines with them on local facebook sites, and got clients whose dogs I've already been handling professinally. I've been training a Bichon Frise called Rolo every week, who now knows how to sit, come when called and high five me, and dog sitting an adorable King Charles Cavelier puppy Freddie as well as a wolf-like German Shepherd/Malinois cross called Hugo. My clients love me and have already written me glowing reviews for my second video on Facebook, but I'll only pick illustrative quotes from their reviews here, as you can read them in full on the Review section of my page: As Freddie's mum says I "took notes as I was telling her about his routines which really impressed me" and "sent me frequent photos and videos while she was looking after him which was really thoughtful and helpful" - I do this with all my clients and it's my pleasure to. As she also says, I'm "very knowledgeable about dogs" and "even demonstrated to us how to get him to do certain things" - I'll happily give bonus dog training during the sit if you tip me £5! If you go with me, your dog will be smothered in love and you'll feel so safe leaving them in my hands. My promise 🤗 because its my pleasure 😄

As Freddie's owner who I puppysat for said in a review she wrote me for my Facebook dog ad, I "took notes as I was telling her about his routines which really impressed me" and "sent me frequent photos and videos while she was looking after him which was really thoughtful and helpful" - I do this with all my clients and it's my pleasure to. As she also says, I'm "very knowledgeable about dogs" and "even demonstrated to us how to get him to do certain things" - I'll happily give bonus dog training during the sit if you tip me £5! Just let me know what you want and you know it's going to happen 😊. My promise because its my pleasure 😊.
Ratings and reviews
Eleanor is just wonderful. Our little bichon gets so excited when she comes to do his training or to sit with him. She makes the training fun for him so that he is always ready to engage. He has learned so much and we are especially pleased that his recall is so much better now, as he was a bit of a nightmare for running off to explore if he slipped past you when the door was open! He knows all sorts of fun things now like paw, spin, high five, and now we’re working on “leave it” and helping him be less barky when someone knocks the door. She can help with all sorts of things :)
Eleanor was brilliant with our dog Hugo. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos, which made us feel reassured that he was having a good day. She is brilliant with dogs and I would highly recommend her.
Eleanor looked after our two cats while we were on holiday, and she was great with them! She took very good care of them, and always made sure they were doing well. Most importantly, she really loves cats (and dogs), so she can always be trusted to look after their every need. She is one of my oldest and best friends, so I've seen first-hand how enthusiastic she is about cats and dogs, and all the experience she has had with them.
Eleanor is a conscientious, hard working and very trustworthy young lady, and a delightful individual. She first asked me if she could teach Gussie, our older border terrier, some simple tricks about three years ago, and has done absolute marvels with her, and subsequently with Gussie's daughter Daisy. Both dogs are always ecstatic to see her, and love her to bits. She is an excellent dog sitter and companion and clearly takes great pleasure in training and looking after them. I have no hesitation in recommending her to any other potential clients.
Eleanor has looked after our little Freddie several times. Her care and attention to detail have been exemplary. She took care to take notes about his routines and sent me frequent photos and videos, which relieved my anxiety! She has a lot of knowledge about dogs and training and trained him to do several tricks. He absolutely loved being with her. I thoroughly recommend Eleanor to you for all types of dog care. Beverly S
Eleanor looked after our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She provided safe and attentive care for our dog and we'd have no hesitation in asking her to do the same again.
