Meet Our Team
Meet Ann
Ann brings more than two decades of hands-on expertise, compassionate care, and qualified skill to our team. Originally from South Africa, she has called the UAE home since 2002, dedicating her life to improving the health, comfort, and happiness of dogs across the region.
Ann began working professionally with dogs in 1998, developing an exceptionally well-rounded foundation in every aspect of canine well-being. Whether she is guiding a recovering dog through low-impact rehabilitation in the pool, setting a new puppy up for lifelong success, or offering clinical support, her approach is rooted in patience, science, and a genuine love for animals.
Her formal qualifications reflect her deep commitment to the highest industry standards:
- Canine Hydrotherapy: Certified Canine Hydrotherapy Practitioner (Certificate with ACRA)
- Training & Instruction: Level 3 K9 Instructor Trainer Certificate (South Africa), Diploma in Dog Training, and Diploma in Puppy Training
- Behaviour & Therapy: Diplomas in Canine Behaviour Therapy, Canine Behavior Training, Canine Communication, and Animal Assisted Therapy
- Veterinary Support & Care: Veterinary Assistant Diploma
- Grooming: Diploma in Professional Dog Grooming
- Health & Welfare: Diplomas in Canine First Aid, Canine Nutrition, and Animal Welfare
- Continuing Professional Development (In Progress): Diplomas in Canine Holistic Health Therapy, Understanding K9 Anxiety, Care of the Elderly Dog, and Herbalism for Animals
By combining hydrotherapy, veterinary nursing support, modern behavioral science, and holistic care, Ann assesses every dog through a complete wellness lens. Owners trust her calm reassurance and practical guidance, knowing their pets are in experienced, capable hands from the moment they walk through our doors.
Meet Thamer
Thamer is an Emirati national whose passion for dogs runs deep. He combines a disciplined, science-driven approach with a calm, steady presence that puts both dogs and their owners at ease from the very first meeting.
His expertise centers on understanding and shaping canine behaviour, with a particular focus on the cases that need it most. His crowning achievement is a Master Certificate in Canine Aggression, giving him the specialised tools to work with reactive and challenging dogs where patience and precision matter above all.
Thamer's formal qualifications reflect his commitment to the highest industry standards:
- Training & Instruction: Level 3 K9 Instructor Trainer Certificate (South Africa)
- Behaviour & Therapy: Diploma in Canine Behaviour Therapy, and Master Certificate in Canine Aggression
- Health & Welfare: Diplomas in Animal Welfare, Canine First Aid, and Canine Nutrition
Every dog he works with receives care that considers the whole animal, not just the behaviour in front of him.
Owners consistently praise his ability to read a dog's body language quickly and to explain complex behavioural ideas in ways that make sense for everyday life. Whether he is rehabilitating a reactive dog or setting a foundation for a new puppy, Thamer's focus is always the same: building trust, building confidence, and giving every dog a real chance to thrive.
