Since joining the DotDot Family in February 2018 she has wowed us all with her ability to train and turn around the most nervous of dogs and the most hyper!  What Penny doesn't know about owning dogs isn't worth knowing, she truly is a fountain of knowledge for our clients and can often be found helping families outside of working hours.

Penny is prone to rogue animals joining her walks - the team always laugh at Pennys updates, the latest being a random sheep following her gang out on a walk in HOSM, who apparently had some 'lovely heel work' !

Zoe has experience and is confident with handling large breed dogs.  She currently owns Bully (a Bull Terrier) and 2 lurchers (Costa & Chance) all of whom she has rescued and given them their forever home.
