Katrina's Happy Dogs

Katrina's Happy Dogs Positive dog trainer offering a fun and rewarding approach to training "Enhancing the bond for life".

Back in 2016 I was working at a charity in Cyprus helping to rehome animals within the military community. From that moment on I knew that I wanted to work with animals. I continued to pursue my career and became a fully approved Instructor with the Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour. I assisted owners and their dogs on a 1-1 basis and I worked at a non-profit humane animal shelter based on th

e central coast of California. I worked alongside 2 other dog trainers and experienced first-hand, that science based positive reinforcement training works. With this approach, I saw the dogs flourish and be placed into wonderful new homes. I am a member of the National Institute of Canine Ethics and I avidly pursue ongoing education and professional development by attending seminars and keeping current on industry literature. I offer a fun and rewarding approach to training that will allow your pet to happily co-exist with you. When not helping clients, I like to explore new places and spend time with my husband plus our two rescue dogs Djin and Django."

Big news from me!

As many of you know, life has been full of change lately — new location, new routines, new priorities, and a real focus on building something flexible that supports our little family. It’s felt like the start of a whole new adventure, and I’m excited to share the next step.

I’ve become a Utility Warehouse Partner.

What does that mean?
It means I get to help people save money on the everyday essentials we all rely on — energy, broadband, mobile, and insurance — all through one award‑winning, trusted company. UW has over a million customers, a brilliant reputation, and a simple idea at its heart: bring your services together, save money, and enjoy one UK‑based team instead of juggling multiple providers.

For me, this is the perfect adventure to step into. It’s flexible, family‑friendly, and fits around dog walks, church, craft group… all the things that matter most. And it gives me the chance to genuinely support people at a time when every penny counts.

If you’re curious about how it works, or want to explore your options and see if you could save, just pop a comment below and we can have a friendly chat — no pressure at all.

Stephen and I have saved with UW for years, and now we’re hoping to help others do the same.

Here’s to simple living, new adventures, supporting each other, and making life a little easier for everyone.

A little update from me!
After giving it a lot of thought, I’ve decided for now, not to continue with dog training.
With us still house‑hunting, I need something that gives me a bit more flexibility and quality time with my family.

I’m also starting something new (and very exciting!) that will offer exactly that. This role will still be helping people and I can’t wait to share more with you soon.

I’ll be keeping this page open because I’ve met such amazing people and dogs through Katrina’s Happy Dogs, and I’d love to keep in touch with you all as you are all a part of my adventure in life.

I want to say thankyou to you all for supporting me over the last few years.

I will leave you with a few photos of the scenery up here. It is breath-taking and peaceful.

The sky this afternoon is beautiful.
Spent some of the day outside with the dogs. Very still and peaceful.
It's the perfect spot to sit and do some work.

Well we made it to Aberdeenshire yesterday late afternoon.

What an incredible adventure the three of us had.

And yes I did the touristy thing of taking a picture of the sign. I was so excited to see it.

The scenery the way up through the Cairngorns was beautiful and it was great to see some of the whisky distilleries and walkers shortbread factory.
(No doubt I will be visiting some soon)

This morning we set off early as wanted to catch the kelpies with the sun coming up.

What magnificent creatures. A lovely dog walk too for Djenna and Django ahead of the next part of our adventure.

Also here is a pic of the green monster I forgot to post one at the start of our adventure

The dogs met the llamas properly this morning. Djenna was in love with them.

Lots of play bows and wiggling she even got a kiss on the nose from the black one.

We went back inside and we could see them though the upstairs window.

She kept coming over to me and doing her talking as if to say "I want to go see my friends."

So my plan had been to do a video of leaving Kettering today with car all packed up.

I ran into a few issues so I left a lot later than expected, so here I am sharing photos of my Doggos in our first nights accommodation up the road from Kendal near Sedbergh. It is truly beautiful will share some photos of alpacas and views tomorrow.
