We’re delighted to welcome Caroline to the Snout & About team as our Dog Sports Specialist.

Widely regarded as one of Ireland’s leading experts in canine sports, Caroline brings over 20 years of experience and a wealth of specialist qualifications to her work, helping dogs and their guardians build focus, confidence, and connection through play and purposeful activity. Offering virtual courses, in person and group sessions, Caroline offers a variety of options to support you wherever you are in Ireland.

A Certified Pro Dog Trainer (Absolute Dogs) and Certified Instructor with Mantrailing Global, UK Sniffer Dogs, and Canine Hoopers World, Caroline is also qualified in Canine First Aid (AniEd & Absolute Dogs) and holds the Pro Dog Trainer Geek Behaviour Certification. Her professional approach combines science-led training with a deep understanding of canine motivation and welfare.

Structured dog sports such as Mantrailing, Scent Detection, Treibball, and Hoopers provide powerful outlets for natural instincts like chasing, herding, retrieving, and sniffing.

These activities can significantly reduce frustration, reactivity, and anxiety, supporting emotional balance and improving behaviour both at home and in public.

Caroline offers group classes and personalised 1-to-1 sessions across East Cork and Waterford, guiding dogs of all breeds and abilities to thrive through movement, enrichment, and fun.
