Insured ✅️ Full DBS check ✅ Hey there! I'm Maria and I love animals. I studied a Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Animal Management in college, passing the first year with distinction. l've always been fascinated in canine behaviour and their loyalty to us. I've been comfortable with animals from an early age and felt I understood their needs/behaviour instinctively. This allowed me to train our family puppy when I was around 10 onwards. I have previous experience as a voluntary dog trainer with the charity 'Dogs Trust', working in their Dog School classes. This furthered my knowledge surrounding body language and overall behaviour seen in puppies, senior dogs and rescues. I love all animals, but dogs are my favourite! I have been an enthusiast from a very young age - Reading breed books cover to cover. Learning about health conditions, nutrition and behaviour in particular breeds. I was once no.1 in the UK on a quiz app for the topic 'dog breeds'. (My idea of fun may seem sad to some 😅) I'm relied on when taking care of family and friends dogs so I have additional experience through this. Including bathing, providing medication, feeding, walking, playing etc. Animal welfare is my no.1 priority and I'd treat your pets as if they were my own. They are in safe hands! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I really look forward to working with you and getting to know lots of new, furry faces! Maria 🐾
