Growing up in South England amongst the countryside, Kirstie was always the first to bring wild rescues home, from hedgehogs to birds (and an attempted fox), she had a passion for animals from a young age, much to her parents dismay. Her love of animals followed her through life and she studied behaviour and Zoo Biology at university.

However due to real world circumstance the last few years she was unable to own her own dog until 2023. But after a fateful encounter she met her newest companion and future Helper Dog Baelin. She undertook the Beckman Coaching Programme shortly after, in an effort to provide the best life possible for both Baelin and herself. In doing so, she found a true passion for dog training.

Wanting to help others in the UK she is now dedicated to providing the best help possible so you too can enjoy a life with your happy, confident and sociable companion.

She created Kirstie’s Canine Coaching with the goal of helping as many owners as possible. Every dog is different but we all want the same goal of happy and healthy pups.
