Hi! I'm Amy
I am blessed with 3 wonderful dogs of my own.
Are they perfect dogs? Absolutely not.
Does this mean I'm terrible with dogs? Absolutely not.
​
What it does mean is that I've worked really hard to educate myself on understanding dogs and have a huge toolbox of handling skills and experience. Your dogs couldn't be in better hands.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
​
I have been lucky enough to share my home with four amazing dogs, each of which has challenged me in different ways. My dogs are not perfect, nore would I want them to be, I want them to be free to be themselves and do dog things. Most of my dogs have struggled with anxiety and sensitivities. Their challenges have meant I've had to work really hard to educate myself on dogs and how to help them be comfortable in today's modern world. We've attended numerous training classes and workshops in lots of different things including Hoopers, Scentwork, Positive Gundog Training, Focus and Engagement.
I am passionate about kindness and train using positive reinforcement. I believe in teaching dogs appropriate behaviour in a way that promotes a strong bond with the dog and makes them feel safe. I am passionate about continued CPD and regularly study with providers such as Canine Principles and the ISCP. I am a member of the National Institute of Canine Ethics, The Pet Professional Network and an Intro member with the Association of INTODogs.
I am extremely fortunate to assist training classes run by two fabulous dog trainers, to learn from their experience and pass on my own to those who need it.
​
I am qualified in canine first aid fully insured and DBS checked.

Amy is so good with our dog and he’s always thrilled to see her. He obviously has a great time! And Amy is so thoughtful when planning to try and get our dog on the same walks as his besties.

I cannot recommend Bluebell Dog Walking and Training enough! Amy REALLY cares about dogs, not only her customers' dogs, but every dog and their carers! She kindly allowed me to join her on her scheduled group walk so she could provide me with lots of helpful guidance and advice, demonstrating how to correct some specific behaviours I was working on and was so very inspirational. I won't forget what she said to me when I thanked her for helping me and sharing her knowledge with me... I have not met many professional dog trainers like Amy who are so keen on helping those like myself who are only just starting their journey to becoming a trainer/behaviourist. She told me she was very pleased to help me because she knew it would benefit my doggies!
