About the Author

As a child, Carol only wanted two things in life - to be a doctor and to have a dog. Denied the latter during childhood, she finally achieved both aims in early adulthood. She worked hard and reached Director level in the NHS but seven reorganisations in eleven years took its toll and she took early retirement. Still with energy to use, she decided to turn her dog training hobby into a proper business. She set up Down Dog Training and Behaviour in 2008, finally retiring in 2022. 
She's has been training people and their Perfect Pets for nearly 40 years now (she started young). Getting a dog with various issues and problems made her realise how little she actually knew and resulted in the years of work and study that made her a top accredited trainer and behaviourist.
Carol, The Doggy Doctor, lives in Northern Ireland. She's a Kennel Club Accredited Instructor in Companion Dog Training and in Behavioural Training, is a Qualified International Dog Training Instructor and holds the Advanced Diploma in Canine Behavioural Management. She's passionate about helping people with their Problem Pooches. 
But she's not just about dogs. She set up her dog business to help fund her craft and book addictions. She enjoys a range of crafts for relaxation, including card-making (see craftycarolscards.co.uk), bobbin lace and crocheting rugs and toys. She's an avid reader and has far too many books, according to Himself. And that doesn't include the thousands of books on her Kindle account... 
A few years ago she started writing her own books which have received many 5 star reviews on Amazon. 
Various clients and friends urged her to keep writing more books, so, after much procrastination, endless cups of coffee and a good kick up the rear, more have appeared. And there are more to come...
