About Me

Empowering Dogs and Owners

Creating lasting bonds through positive training

At Katie's Canine Connections, I am committed to empowering both dogs and owners to build trust, confidence, and deepen their relationship. With force-free training methods focus on creating a positive and supportive learning environment for you and your furry friend.

I have spent my entire life around animals of all shapes and sizes but, predominantly horses and dogs. 

As an adult, not only have I owned and trained my own dogs and horses, I also spent 6 months volunteering for the biggest canine rescue charity in the country, before I was employed as a full time member of their kennel staff for a further 4 years.

During my time working with every breed you could possibly think of and more! I witnessed first hand, the day to day issues that arise with people and their dogs that would result in their being rehomed, along with other extremely serious issues, I want to help you avoid that! 

It was my time here and my past with horses that sparked my fire and passion for behaviour and training techniques, not only in canines but all animals! 

I continually enrol on new courses to discover all of the latest's positive training techniques and new scientific findings.

I am fully insured and trained in basic canine first aid.
