Hi, I'm Sally
I'm a writer and trauma-informed coach. I'm also a canine specialist with a Level 6 qualification in dog behaviour and a background in military and hearing dog training.
My experience spans from working with search dogs for things like weapons, explosives and drugs to supporting the rehabilitation of traumatised and vulnerable dogs. This gives me a deep, hands-on understanding of canine behaviour, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
I am a writer and teacher by heart and a dog advocate by soul.
Through my work, I coach professionals in creating resilience and confidence in dogs and their people. My specialisms are trauma, fear and anxiety. I also teach guardians to understand and work with their own worried dogs.
My books explore ethical dog care, training, behavioural science, and emotional safety. I write about trauma in dogs and in humans, blending scientific research, practical experience, and compassionate methods, ensuring my work is both educational and accessible to those dedicated to improving canine welfare and understanding peers and self through a trauma informed lens.
