My Story

Hi, I’m Hannah — a qualified small animal hydrotherapist and K9PT with a deep passion for prevention, education, and helping dogs live happier, healthier lives. I began my career in 2012, fresh out of college, and quickly qualified as a hydrotherapist. Over the years I completed extensive CPD, managed the centre, and trained in gait analysis, all of which strengthened my belief that preventing injury is just as important as treating it.

​​

After developing a skin condition that meant I could no longer work in the chlorinated water, I shifted my focus back to what I loved most: helping dogs stay fit, strong, and pain‑free before problems arise. That naturally led me into canine conditioning and eventually into dog training, as I saw time and time again how closely physical health and behaviour are connected. Pain, discomfort, and poor fitness often sit at the root of behavioural struggles, and understanding both sides allows me to support dogs far more holistically.

​

My own dog Luna has been a huge part of my journey. She came to me with a difficult past and significant behavioural challenges, and together we navigated a long path through various training methods before discovering concept training. This approach transformed her life — and mine. By building calmness, optimism, focus, and self‑control, we were finally able to address the real causes of her behaviour rather than suppressing symptoms. Watching her grow into a confident, happy dog is what drives me to help others achieve the same.

​

I’ve also trained in agility for years, and dabbled in competitions. All of these experiences have shaped the work I do today: supporting dogs and their owners across the country to build stronger relationships, better behaviour, and healthier bodies. My mission is simple — to help as many dogs as possible live the balanced, harmonious lives they deserve.
