It's was always my dream to become a professional pet care owner and after working for many other companies my nan gave me the push I needed to start me up and give me the courage that I needed.

She always knew I loved working with dogs and wanted something for myself so she helped me to go on training days and get the full knowledge of plenty of training courses.

However my nan passed away before I actually set up and never saw my business, Portsmouth K9 Academy, succeed. Now being up for a UK award I am so lucky and blessed we are so excited to share this news. I would always say never give up to fulfil your dreams.
