Auveen — Founder, Dog Trainer & Educator

With over 20 years’ experience as a qualified primary school teacher, I bring a unique blend of education, communication and compassion to dog training.

My personal journey from overwhelmed dog owner to professional trainer means I truly understand the emotional side of behaviour challenges — and how empowering the right support can be.

At Paws with Purpose, my goal is not just better behaviour, but stronger relationships and confident owners.
