Hi, I’m Karen, and my greatest passion in life is improving the lives of animals — particularly dogs. Everything I do, from my work to my hobbies, is centered around helping dogs live happier, healthier lives.
One of the ways I do this is through my current Udemy course on how to groom your dog at home, which teaches owners how to make grooming a calm and enjoyable experience for both pet and human. I also share creative enrichment ideas on my social media channels, showing how to keep dogs engaged, active, and mentally stimulated. My own Australian Labradoodle, Watson, is my daily inspiration — and chief product tester!
Before focusing on dogs full-time, I spent 10 years in the NHS in medical research, based in a hospital. During that time, I earned my HND in Health Sciences as part of my BSc studies. In 2015, redundancy gave me the opportunity to retrain and follow my passion for working with animals. Since then, I’ve gained the following qualifications and experience:
Diploma in Dog Grooming
Ran my own successful dog grooming salon
Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Psychology with IMDT
Certificate in Canine First Aid
Professional Photographer
Creator of a successful dog grooming course on Udemy
I also run a YouTube channel dedicated to dogs (Watson the Warrior), where I share tips, tutorials, and fun enrichment activities.
I hope you enjoy your chosen course, and remember — I’m always here to answer questions and support your learning journey.
