Out in the community, people quickly get to know me as “Holly with the Collies.”
It’s easy to remember, rolls off the tongue, and has become a name that feels very much like me.
I’m a dog trainer with a love for Border Collies, but I have a greater passion for helping every dog and their people understand each other better. I believe training should build communication, confidence and connection, creating a happier relationship between dogs and the humans who love them.
When I’m not dog training, or sharing stories about my own dogs, you’ll often find me tending to my beautiful collection of indoor plants, or embracing the delightful chaos that comes with my pet cockatiels.
Life with animals is rarely boring, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
