Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a professional dog trainer, dog groomer and hydrotherapist. I have always loved dog training and it has always been a passion of mine but when i see a beautiful sunny day i just want to be outside playing with my dogs. So i decided to write this book, my first book all about the combination of my two passions. Dog training and doing things with my dogs. The first book is water based activities such as SUP boarding, Kayaking, River trekking and 20 activities that i have done step by step guides for to make it easy to follow for the owner.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Adventure Dogs
My dogs inspired me to write this book, i love being with them and sharing all these experiences with them. I wanted to show others what was possible with their own dogs.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
not that i know of
probably showing more pictures of my dogs than is necessary – but when you see them you will understand why!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
various dog trainers in my life have influenced this book, but i would say my grandparents are the biggest influence as they have given me my love for the water and all the fun that can be had in or on it. i have just taken that one step further and included the other passion in my life, my dogs.
