About Abigail (and her dogs)
Like many animal devotees my love for animals started at a very young age, nurtured by my Mum's own passion for animals. I spent my young life surrounded by animals little and large - from mice to horses with everything in between! My enduring animal love, however, has always been for dogs.
My first dog walking job was at the ripe old age of 13 when I walked a Border Collie and a Burnese Mountain Dog cross after school. 12 years later I'm proud to have come full circle and to now be doing it full time.
I am licenced with the CEC as a dog walker and am fully insured through Pet Business Insurance. I have studied canine behaviour and training through ThinkDog.

I've shared my life with many dogs over the years but right now there are three special boys in my heart and house.
Sparky is a mixed breed of indeterminate origin. He was 10 months when he came barreling into my life in a fuzzy, hyperactive and completely untrained ball of energy. After a lot of time, patience and training Sparky is now my bomb-proof, take-anywhere dog and the light of my life.
Sparky and I play Flyball and agility but his forte is trick training.
In 2012 we took part in an ITV show called Top Dog Model, where Sparky came fourth. An achievement I'm very proud of! Earlier this year we were offered the chance to film an advert for Busy Buddy toys, the first of many I hope!
Fashion conscious Sparky!

Kota is a Border Collie who I got as a 9 week old pup from a dog trainer in Dundee. He's dopey, silly and always ready to make me laugh. What he lacks in brains he makes up for in enthusiasm, which isn't always a good thing! Healso loves his flyball, but never quite got the hang of agility! But mostly he just enjoys fetch in the park and swimming in whatever water he can find.

Orion came to me in late 2014 after his owner could, unfortunately, no longer keep him. He's in the early stages of his sports training but shows great promise. For now he enjoys chasing squirrels and hogging the bed.
