Hannah has worked and lived around animals her whole life. After completing her Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management at Hartpury College in 2013 she went to work full time in a local animal shelter, where she worked for 5 years.

 

The idea for a local and affordable pet care and dog walking service came from the lack of professionals in this field in Tewkesbury and the surrounding areas, it was hard to find somewhere for her young, rescue Border Collie to go and realised many people must have this problem when they are working and don't want to leave the pet alone all day. 

 

This is where 'Active Animals' was born, a reliable, flexible, professional dog walking service, Hannah is extremely active she canicrosses and walks for many hours a day in the local countryside with her own 4 dogs.

 

Over the years Hannah has owned many different pets, and has an extensive knowledge and love for all things animal particularly canine! She currently has 4 dogs (3 rescues Ernie- Collie, Rocket - Lurcher and Willow - Sprocker all with a tale to tell) and latest addition Indi the Greyster. 

 

In 2021 Hannah started a mentorship programme with Phoenix K9 Training to develop her dog training knowledge she specialises in high energy dogs who will benefit from more structure, training walks and how cani-sports can be a positive outlet for these dogs. . Hannah is a Canicross coach and an Ambassador for K9 Trail Time. Running Canicross coaching courses, for beginners and improvers.
