Kia ora, my name is Lynsey, owner of Canine & you. As far back as I can remember I've loved dogs. Throughout my life, my passion for all things canine has never subsided. 

I moved to New Zealand from the UK in 2012, and while continuing to work in the travel and tourism industry, my interest and love of dogs only grew stronger. This ultimately led me to take the plunge and change careers.

In 2021 I completed my certificate in Canine Behaviour & Training and haven't looked back. Since then, I've been working with dogs and their humans, finding great joy through my positive reinforcement methods to nurture meaningful, lasting relationships.
