Business Owner

Desiree’s love of dogs has been present her whole life, but her passion for everything dog-​related just keeps growing! Since starting her career in the canine industry she has met many fabulous trainers from local trainers across Canada and the USA and has learned something from each one of them.

Desiree claims: «it’s about understanding dogs and developing communication, trust and respect between our two species».

Recently appointed Vice President of the newly established «Paws for Hope Animal Foundation», Desiree hopes to grow her business to one day open a rehabilitation centre for particularly challenging dogs. Her desire to learn about canine behaviour, and dogs in general, seems never-​ending.

Desiree and her husband share their loving home with BamBam (Yorkshire Terrier), Orion (Cat), Merlin (Mini Australian Shepherd), Oliver (Golden Retriever) and Helen (Chihuahua mix)… who was born blind and is a rescue from Los Angeles.
