The 33-year-old from Fareham started her business in join after previously being a police officer. She specialises in helping pooches with behavioural problems, with many of them suffering with pain. Ms Newman-Rose added that the majority of dogs with behavioural issues are dealing with some form of discomfort.
“Predominantly, I try to rejuvenate the connection that people have with their dogs,” she added. “A lot of the time, people lose that connection, and that can cause a training downfall or a behavioural issue. I’m just coming in as a fresh pair of eyes to reconnect the dog with their owner.

She said the career change has been brilliant. “It’s great to make positive changes for dogs, especially when there’s a physical condition hurting them,” Ms Newman-Rose added. “You might have a dog that’s barking, and their behaviour is very difficult, but they might be doing that because they have a muscle problem or dislocated knee, and they’re desperately trying to tell their owner they’re in pain.
Being able to communicate the dog’s needs to the owner is really rewarding. A lot of them are cast off as being naughty, but a lot of them are telling us they’re suffering from discomfort.” Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hampshire Dachs-Fest takes place at Crofton Community Centre, Stubbington Lane, between 10.
