Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and for many couples, it wouldn’t feel complete without their dog by their side. But between getting ready, greeting guests, and enjoying the celebrations, it’s not always easy to make sure your dog is cared for, comfortable, and ready for their big moment.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Rochelle — an IMDT-certified trainer, qualified behaviourist, canine first aid trained, enhanced DBS-checked, and fully insured professional. I specialise in ensuring dogs are happy, relaxed, and perfectly looked after during weddings, so you can focus on your special day knowing your four-legged friend is in expert hands.
