Helen believes that physical rehabilitation is an important process in having a healthy dog. If she can help animals achieve both physical and emotional balance then many more people would live in harmony with their pets!

 

Helen spent 6 years as an instructor at dogs for good, helping people with disabilities working closely with a dog provided by the charity to help them gain more independence. She now provides dogs for private clients to help do the same job.

 

Helen also believes that keeping up her own skills is really important in being a good instructor. She owns 3 pet dogs, 3 horses and 2 goats, she competes regularly in various disciplines and has bred two litters of Labrador’s.

 

Sky is a beating and picking up dog on shoots, she has competed in Scurry's and she has her Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme Silver Award.

 

Jack is Sky’s son and is a peg dog during the shoot season. He is currently at Kennel Club Good Citizen Silver level.

 

Red is her youngest Labrador and will hopefully join her shooting team.
