  • A quick hello...

    I'm Sarah and I own Total Dog Daycare, Training & Grooming. Having seen a gap in the market I wanted to create a unique experience for dog owners by offering a multi-service establishment here in Worksop.
     
    Having over 15 years experience working with a wide range of animals especially dogs, small animal and horses. My forte, though, has been within the animal welfare sector working within rescue centres. Borneholm Dog Rescue & Rehabilitation kick started my career pathway to working with dogs full time and eventually I moved up the career ladder with larger charities such as RAIN Rescue, Thornberry Animal Sanctuary & The RSPCA Doncaster & Rotherham District. I have always practiced positive reinforcement training techniques and have worked with a multiple range of trainers throughout my career.

     

    I am Qualified in Animal Management Level 3 and hold my Pet First Aid & CPR certificate. I am also undertaking a BSc (Hons) Psychology degree and have qualified in Holistic therapies such as Reiki and Crystal Healing for Dogs. I am passionate about customer service and aspire to train and employ outstanding individuals who have the same passion & drive for dogs and their welfare as I do.

     

    Within the first six months of opening my own business, I am proud to say I won the 'Rising Star' award with North Notts Women in Business Association and 12 months later went on to win 'Business Woman of The Year 2023', recognising my achievements throughout my business.
