Hi I'm Michelle! I'm a canine coach and founder of the Hoops and Hounds Dog Training Academy. I specialise in coaching assistance dog behaviours, being one of the original Superdogs Instructors and a volunteer trainer with DogAID.

I am a full member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) Pet Professional Guild (PPG) and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT).

Injecting fun and passion into training is essential and I've sought to build expertise in several areas so that all dogs and their owners can find an activity which they love! I'm a certified Force Free Trick Trainer, Real Dog Yoga Instructor and instructor for the World Scent Dog Association.

I have trained my own Alaskan Malamute, Logan, to assistance dog standard to become a Certified School Dog with the charity Dogs Helping Kids. Additionally I am one of DHK's trainers and assessors.

Another passion of mine is dog surfing and in 2017 I set up the UK's very first Dog Surfing School - Reefdogs Canine Surfing.
