Meet The Team

 Hi I am Charlotte (Charlie)

Dog Handler

After attending Berkshire College of Agriculture, I always knew I wanted to be a dog handler.

I have had a love and passion for dogs since a very young age and knew I wanted my career to be around animals.

I am currently studying a course on animal care and behaviour and when the opportunity arose to be a dog handler at Claire’s Comfy Canines, I was over joyed and couldn’t wait to become a part of this amazing company to put my studying into practise. 

My love for animals started when I was very young. I grew up around dogs as well as having rabbits, hamsters, birds and even a pet parrot. I currently have a Cocker Spaniel called Harvey. 

Since working at Claire’s Comfy Canines, I have learnt so much about a dog’s behaviour and their body language and look forward to learning more through my career.

Hi I’m Meaghann

Dog Handler

While I was studying animal management at BCA I had the amazing opportunity to come and do work experience at Claires Comfy Canines in 2020. I enjoyed it so much I knew I wanted to come back and be a part of the team.

Ever since I was little, I’ve always had a love for dogs but lived with cats up until earlier this year when I got my 2 dogs Arlo & Gizmo which are both Cava-Tzu’s.

Since working here and CCC’s I’ve learned so much about puppy’s and dogs which I never knew before mainly focusing on diet, exercise, emotions, body language etc. but I’m glad to now have the knowledge and ongoing training needed to continue helping the dogs the best I possibly can.

Hi I am Siân

Dog Handler

After graduating from university with a degree in BSc Biological Sciences, my dissertation had meant lots of research into dogs and horses, specifically what type of anaesthesia is best for them. This evolved my love for understanding how drugs could affect a dog’s behaviour, and further my interest into canine communication, and I am now training to become a certified clinical animal behaviourist (CCAB) to delve into clinical canine behaviourism, with many hours of CPD observing reactivity in dogs.

I have had lots of experience with dogs, as I was a kennel maid for a very large group of labradors for many summers when not at university! I also have my own beautiful border collie, Meg, who I take to lots of training including scent-work, and more recently, hoopers. My cat (Tilly) gets very jealous of all the training because treats are involved!

My job at Claire’s Comfy Canines will really allow me to learn more about how dogs interact with one another, and how every breed, and individual dog can be so different.

Hi I am Kaci

Dog Handler

Dogs have always been the main source of enjoyment in my life! We’ve had many dogs within the family, and at the moment we have two gorgeous chihuahuas who are my absolute pride & joy.

After being a cleaner for a few years, I decided to reach out to a few places where I could volunteer and gain experience working with animals. Claire’s responded and took me on immediately! After a few months, they offered me a job opportunity and of course, I said yes. From volunteering to now, I couldn’t be any happier doing what I love.

Since starting at Claire’s, I have learned so much and I’m not only incredibly grateful for the opportunity they’ve given me, but proud to work for them. They have taught me a great deal about dog behaviour, psychology, and body language, not to mention helping me build up my own confidence. I look forward to continuing to learn from them!

Hi, I am Daniel,
Dog Handler

I was born in 2003 and have always loved being around all sorts of animals. I love travelling and have been lucky enough to see wild dogs in person.

I have always wanted to work with animals (dogs especially), last year I studied animal management at Merrist Wood College which I found very interesting.

5 minutes into my trial shift I knew I would love this job at CCC’s and haven’t looked back. The opportunities to learn are endless and the feel good factor you get from working here is unmatched.
