My name is Louise and I have loved animals from a very young age. I currently have two rescue dogs, a cat and two rather spoilt house rabbits. In 2011 we adopted our border collie and through positive, patient training and kindness she has grown from a very nervous rescue to being a loyal, playful and happy dog. Seeing her change really prompted me to become further involved in the world of dogs. More recently we adopted a partially sighted dog from Romania who again needed lots of positive training to learn to live in a new home. Having issues with his eye sight, I have learned a lot about canine enrichment activities too.
I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea-pigs, degus, hamsters and a variety of other small animals.  I am also experienced in syringe feeding and giving medications to small animals.

I am a volunteer with ‘Dogs Trust Dog School’ in Worcestershire and have worked in the puppy, adolescent and adult dog classes, helping owners and their dogs to bond and work together. All of the training at Dogs School is positive, reward-based training. My voluntary work is very rewarding and I love to see the progress that the dogs make during their classes.

I am now also training with The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (UK) to become a fully qualified Dog Training Instructor. Watch out for new services coming soon!

I am also passionate about animal welfare and support a variety of animal rescue organisations, such as the Dogs Trust, the Donkey Sanctuary and the Farm Animal Sanctuary.

I love running Hanley Swan Paws and am very much looking forward to meeting you and your pets!
