My whole life, ever since I can remember, I’ve had a tremendous passion for animals. Rescuing literally anything that needed help as a child, and this has stayed with me through to my adult life.  

Everything I have learned about animals, is not from sitting exams, it’s from reading books and learning for myself. I learned very early on, that animals respond well, to being calm, fun and rewarding activities. 

I have rescued many dogs over the years. Some continue to share their life with me. In 2016, on a family holiday to Turkey, we found a collapsed, emaciated dog in Fethiyie.

There was no way she was being left there to die. So I started a mission on holiday to rescue her, which was successful. I have raised, with help from family and friends, hundreds of pounds, to help the dogs in Turkey. And continue to do so. I also continue to support UK rescues, by fostering and home checking for them.  

I started competing in Agility in 2005, with my first agility dog Casca. Much to my surprise, we were pretty good at it. And here started my agility career. After 2 years of competing successfully, I was asked to come and teach for Kathrin Tasker.

In 2010, with a business partner, we started our own agility club, Paws At Play. The club went from strength to strength, but in 2018, we lost our venue in Guildford. And that is how Agility Without Limits was formed. After many years of teaching, I knew exactly how I wanted to run my club, and what I wanted to give my clients and their dogs.
