Holistic Wellbeing
With a background in veterinary nursing, behaviour, and nutrition, I support guardians to understand their canine companion’s emotions, and how they are expressed through behaviour and the body—so they feel more at ease, inside and out.

Did you know one of the simplest ways to make your dog happier is to let them sniff?
A 2025 study showed that dogs who spent just two weeks doing daily nose work approached new situations with greater optimism, confidence and curiosity.
Why? Because sniffing isn’t just how dogs explore the world; I t’s how they think, solve problems, and satisfy one of their most important natural instincts.
Every walk doesn’t have to be about covering distance. Slow, strolling “sniffaris,” scent games, hidden treats, and nose work activities give your dog’s brain the enrichment it craves while helping reduce stress and improve emotional well-being.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your dog’s mental health is simply giving them permission to stop... sniff... and experience the world the way nature intended. 🐾
🐾 Let your dog lead the next walk. You might be surprised how much happier you both become.

When you think you know where the hider is...but your dog knows better! A lovely example of trusting the nose and letting the dog lead. Beautiful teamwork! 🐾 💕

Not every dog is ready for a group session... and that's absolutely fine. 💚

That's why I also offer one-to-one Trust, Track & Trail sessions in carefully chosen, quiet locations, allowing each dog to learn at their own pace, without the added pressure of unfamiliar dogs, people, or unpredictable environments.

Trailing can be a wonderfully fulfilling activity. It encourages dogs to use their incredible sense of smell, express natural behaviours, and enjoy meaningful moments with their guardian.

Working at their own pace, in an environment where they feel safe, allows many dogs to discover just how capable they are. That sense of achievement can have a positive impact far beyond the trail itself, helping to nurture confidence, resilience, and trust.

Every session is tailored to the individual, meeting them exactly where they are and supporting them with kindness, patience, and understanding.

If you've been wondering whether trailing could be right for your dog but weren't sure they would cope in a group setting or shared spaces, I'd love to hear from you. 🐾💚

🌿 Welcome to Trust, Track & Trail 🌿

A journey into the world of tracking and trailing, where your dog’s incredible sense of smell leads the way.

Together, you’ll discover the joy of working as a team - following trails, building trust and celebrating your dog’s amazing abilities.

🐾 Discovery Trails

Ongoing sessions in different environments, allowing teams to continue their journey, explore new trails and enjoy tracking and trailing together.

Who needs one of these!!

Old dogs can learn new tricks. 💚🐾

At 12½ years old, Jelly Bean is deaf, living with cognitive changes, and still absolutely smashing his trail.

Trailing isn't about speed or perfection. It's about giving our canine companions the opportunity to use their incredible sense of smell, solve problems at their own pace, and enjoy expressing one of their most natural behaviours.

Watching dogs trail fills my heart every single time. Age doesn't diminish the joy of learning, exploring, or doing what comes naturally. Sometimes, all they need is the opportunity.🙏🏻

Second trail... and I think she's got the bug!

Tawny approached each trail with growing confidence and enthusiasm, taking the adventure at her own pace. There's something so special about watching a dog discover just how rewarding following a trail can be.

Track & Trail is suitable for all breeds and abilities. Every dogs is naturally gifted at using their nose. Sessions are tailored to the individual, making them a wonderful way to build confidence, encourage natural behaviours, and deepen the connection between guardian and companion.

I can't wait to see where Tawny's next trail takes her. 💜 🐾
