Hello
My name is Michelle and I am the sole proprietor of THE PUP RUN.
​​
As a dog walker I believe it's "so much more than just holding the lead". My aim is to develop basic skills such as loose lead walking, recall, sit, stay and crate training ensuring that dogs in my care have an enjoyable, calm, stress free experience.
My Story
​I have a passion for working with animals and for the last 20 years have worked for a horse sanctuary. Here I gained extensive knowledge of caring, training and welfare of equines.
​
As an Equine Co-ordinator for the Behaviour Team, I learnt skills in order to gain the trust and confidence of the equines I worked with, some of whom had come from a history of neglect or abuse. Using these skills, the aim was for them to be able to live a happier, stress free life and handle visits from the vets, farriers or even go on to be rehomed. These years of experience, knowledge and of course owning dogs myself, will benefit me as I move into the world of working with dogs.
​
Having previously owned a number of dogs from a retired greyhound to a rescued Labrador, I currently have a Cocker Spaniel and a Lhasa Apso, who have lived with me and my family since they were puppies. All the dogs in my life have become happy, confident, playful family pets, and have learnt to behave well whilst on or off the lead. I am now excited about having the opportunity to work with a wide range of different dogs with unique characters (some challenging, I'm sure) bringing fun and enjoyable experiences.
