Hi, I’m Lucy Branton, owner and founder of Dogholics, and for as long as I can
remember I have adored animals, in particular dogs and horses. I have spent my
life in training and caring for them. My first dog as an adult was a Sher Pei,
at the time the vet told me I had acquired one of the most difficult breeds to
train. This didn’t put me off and within a few short months, me and my Shar-Pei
Louie were performing in an obedience display team with the Hull Dog Training
Club, achieving gold standards in training. My next Shar-Pei became adept at
agility, obedience, and rally, even running alongside a horse! Having a natural
affinity with dogs and training, I soon set up a local dog training club, as a
hobby, it wasn’t long before this became a well-used enterprise. I had to face
it I was addicted to dogs! I knew the only way I could get my fix for my
addiction was to turn it into a profession and took up dog grooming. I quickly
achieved City & Guilds introduction levels locally, then taking further training
in London, proving to be natural I achieved distinctions and merits, passing the
Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming. I still wasn’t satisfied and started teacher
training, later becoming employed at the Hull College where I originally
trained. All of this has led me to want to help others, who like me love their
dogs. To help dog owners and their dogs realise their potential, creating a
space where dogs and their owners can come together, learn and build amazing
bonds with each other. There is no love more addictive than a dog’s love and as
dog owner all we ever want to do is to give them back the same love they give
us. Here at Dogoholics our mission is: To help all dog owners learn how to care
for their dogs in the right way giving them back the love and loyalty they so
freely give to us every day of their lives!
