The Gibbons House - Dog Training and Photography

Let me introduce myself.​

​

My journey started in 2022 when I rescued a German Shepherd and Siberian Husky cross. I had no idea what I was stepping into, and the thought that I would one day become a dog trainer because of her had never crossed my mind. Yet here we are. If you want to read about our story, you can do that here.

​

Learning to train her has been fun, challenging and incredibly rewarding. It sparked a passion in me that I never knew I had. I have always loved dogs, but I did not know I could become a dog trainer until she showed me what was possible.

​

When I am not training dogs or photographing pets, I work with a wide range of animals on a homestead-style farm where their safety and welfare are my responsibility.

​

You will often find me outdoors in nature, whether I am photographing, walking, working or relaxing. That connection to the outdoors shapes my belief in nurturing the natural bond between pets and their humans. You will not find E collars or prong collars here, no sir (or madam)!

​

I have been teaching and instructing since 2015. I have taught climbing, bushcraft, archery, cooking, animal care, first aid and more. I understand how people learn and how dogs learn. 

​

I am neurodivergent, and I live with two chronic illnesses. Because of this, I know that not everyone learns in the same way and that the environment can have a huge impact on your experience. My sessions are fully inclusive. Together, we will find a way to help you and your pet thrive. No pressure, no stress.

​

If you have any questions or want to chat more before booking a session, please reach out! I don't bite, I promise.
