Leanne is a qualified teacher with QTS status, she has been working in the education system for 21 years. Over the years she has been appointed head of a department working with post 16, she has supported students with social, emotional and mental health challenges, taught secondary aged teenagers with special educational needs and has been an early years teacher for under fives.

Leanne decided to take a leap of faith, leaving full time employment to set up and run her own business, working as a dog walker and dog trainer offering gundog and behaviour training.

Leanne is an experienced dog handler and has owned dogs for 22 years. These vary from rehoming dogs with complex backgrounds to now having two gundog breeds, Willow (labrador retriever), Mouse and Boo (working cocker spaniels). These were influenced from her exposure and interest of gundog training thanks to Helen Phillips.

Leanne currently works her dogs regularly during the shooting season on a commercial driven shoot.

In 2025 Leanne qualified as a GTA-AD accredited gundog training instructor, and ABTC ATI. She also has a qualification in Canine First Aid, Canine Body Language, Breed and Predatory Motor Patterns, Separation Anxiety and Related Disorders, Red Flag Behaviours and Canine Emotional Health and Canine Adolescence.
