My name is Helen Merrett, I am a qualified veterinary nurse. I decided to leave veterinary practice and set up a business of my own from home, where I could do what I love to do best, play with dogs!
I have years of practical handling and training experience, and wanted to give people that alternative to kennels that we all want. A home from home, which is a holiday for the dogs, not just for us.
For your peace of mind and to keep my veterinary skills up to date I work occasionally at Woods Animal Hospital in Gloucester. I have a close relationship with the practice should your dog need urgent medical attention, and my skills as a nurse are kept up to date and well utilised should I need to call on them whilst your dog is in my care.
As a veterinary nurse I spent many an appointment talking to owners with new puppies or rescue dogs about how to overcome their dogs problems, issues, and general over exuberance, but found that a 10 minute consult in a vets really wasn’t long enough to make a real difference. Now I work for myself, an hour with me, really can make a drastic difference to how your dog behaves, how they feel about their owners and most importantly how the owners feel about their dogs.
It is possible to teach old dogs new tricks, and to stop young ones learning them in the first place!
I don’t offer classes, or group tuition as all dogs are different and things that work well for one dog, will be completely irrelevant for others. I offer value for money, practical skills and advice and if you follow my lead, I know we can make a difference to you and your dogs relationship. I explain the reasons behind my techniques, in terms of how the dog thinks about things, so you can go out into the real world and start understanding what they are thinking of getting up to, and controlling their behaviour without them even noticing you do it!
Thanks for finding me,
Helen
