15 Minutes of Fame

Dog trainer with dachshund

I was lucky enough to be asked to share some thoughts on my new dog training career and show off one of my super-cute clients for The Spinoff recently. I studied Canine Behaviour and Training at Unitec in 2018 (a course I would highly recommend to anyone considering a change in career to work with dogs), and I have been interviewed twice as a follow up to my studies - see article links below. It’s been really exciting to discuss my new career and what made me undertake such a big change from working as a Digital Strategist in an Advertising Agency. I’m definitely not missing the endless reports and meetings - or wearing high heels! It’s a huge change but one I am so glad I’ve taken. I absolutely love the photos that were taken by Yuki Zhang and I’m fairly confident that Frank stole the show in this interview! I’ve also included the link below (again) to my favourite video that gives you a small insight to what I am talking about in the interview when it comes to dog’s AMAZING sense of smell!
