Faith Ivey is currently studying Animal Behaviour and Welfare at Hartpury University and has always had a fondness for dogs. 

She has worked as a dog sitter for a few years now, but she has decided this year to pursue her dream of dog training, and so she contacted Barking Buds about their Trainer Mentorship Programme.

She is now one of the Barking Buds Trainers and is excited to start her journey as a trusted trainer with Therapy Dog Training UK.

Vesela Dimitrova

Ever since she had her first dog as a child, Vesela knew that this was going to be a lifelong passion. She did a Human Animal Interaction course at Hartpury University, and just before graduating, she found Barking Buds and started their Trainer Mentorship Programme. Barking Buds use only positive and force-free training methods, which Vesela loved, and not long after that she was employed by them as a trainer. 

She has now completed a few different courses with the IMDT, and has a Pro Dog Trainer qualification from Absolute Dogs.

Her passion for learning more, so she can take better care of her clients, is never-ending and she’s always on the lookout for new challenges.
