My Story

I'm Dani—Founder of Snobby Doggy. I am an accredited IMDT dog trainer with a Level 4 qualification in behaviour, offering personalised 1-2-1 training packages for dog owners. As a dedicated pet owner to Molly, my Working Cocker Spaniel, I intimately grasp the intricacies of fostering a healthy and joyful relationship with our canine companions.

My specialisation lies in puppy to teenage dog training, where I focus on equipping owners with the tools and skills for a solid start.

In 2017, I opened my home to provide a reliable haven for dogs, ensuring their well-being through meticulous management practices. This commitment earned official recognition as a licensed boarding home by the Brighton and Hove Council.

Driven to deepen my understanding of canine behaviour, I embarked on independent study, a pivotal moment in my commitment to positively influence the lives of dogs and their owners. The enthusiasm derived from caring for dogs and providing valuable advice.

I connected with Hudson's Tails and Trails, a breed-specific Spaniel trainer to enhance my practical skills. I now help co-run the Spaniel Shenanigans classes at Hudson's Tails and Trails, where I focus on nurturing breed-specific training.

I continue to expand my knowledge through various canine education providers, including The School of Canine Science and Julie Naismith - Separation Anxiety Pro Behaviour Consultant.

Steph

Dog Trainer

I’m a student member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and continue to broaden my knowledge and experience by attending regular seminars, webinars and other dog related courses.

My area of expertise is puppy training. I’m passionate about setting our dogs up for success by putting in the ground work at puppy stage. Dogs need continual training throughout all stages of their life, but you can massively reduce the likelihood of behavioural issues in later life by having a ‘prevention is better than cure’ approach to your dog training plan.
