About Anita Doré Paws4thoughtbrighton

Above all I love dogs and this passion led me to start my own dog walking business in Feb 1999.
I grew up surrounded by dogs and learnt to walk leaning on the back of a basset called Hush, who was one my Nan’s, shall we say, challenging dogs.

This ongoing interaction with such a variety of dogs made me realise I wanted to gain more knowledge and I subsequently studied and passed with merit, a diploma in dog psychology. All my own dogs have been rescue dogs and this assisted me in choosing my thesis, which centred around re-homed and rescued dogs. For many years I was actively involved with rehabilitating and re-homing a number of rescue dogs.

Over the last few years I have been expanding the business and not only offer 1-2-1 training I also do a 3 week residential training course, which combines all of the skills I have learnt.
