I am a total dog enthusiast and lover of all creatures great and small plus nature in general. I have grown up with dogs, cats, fish and rodents all my life. Whilst working as a ranger on Hampstead Heath extension I met so many dogs and this broadened my love and understanding further of individual breads. Dogs are basically the coolest animals on our planet, just so much love to give 😍 I have a lot of experience with elderly, reactive and timid dogs, and I have an enhanced DBS, full insurance and have recently completed my canine first aid to compliment my first aid for humans. I have tractive GPS units I use on every walk. I have done courses with IMDT (Institute of modern dog trainers). Canine Body Language Course & Canine Aggression and Rehabilitation as there are many reactive dogs these days and it is so important to be able to recognise the signs of dogs being unhappy so you can remove them from the area and so avoid situations. I will always put the dogs safety first. I have Solar who is a cross female, 13 years old and still very active as I believe regular walks are best for their mind, body and soul. I would call her the nanny dog as she's so calm, patient and tolerant of all. I brought her with me when I relocated home to the UK from overseas 6 years ago as I believe that our dogs are family, just as our children are. She also recently lost her best friend of 12 years so she thrives on visitors in our home. I am new to North Finchley after moving from Hampstead Heath and am loving exploring all the local walks, so many to choose from! I drive and will be happy to take your dog to Hampstead heath for a long walk or keep it local for a short one. If you would like to board your dog with me please know it is entering a family home. My children have grown up with 4 large dogs between 20-40 kilos and they know how to respect a dogs space. No dogs will be left unattended at anytime and will be carefully vetted to make sure everyone will fully enjoy their time in our home. On another note I am an experienced reefer and have had my own aquarium for about 16 years in total either reef or freshwater specialist shrimps and fish, Also working in an aquarium shop overseas. I currently have a 250 ltr tank with sump, UV, reactors, skimmer etc, this is my 3rd reef tank. I used to also keep 2 royal pythons when I was a lot younger. I'm a bit of an all rounder so to say :)
