Ashford Kent
Anne Cavey at Anne's Drawn Portraits offers hand drawn bespoke portraits of animals or humans captured in colour pencils, graphite, pan pastels or watercolour.

Anne has always loved art and drawing and attended a London art college back in the 80's and worked as a Graphic Designer for many years. A dog owner to Alfie and Poppy Anne never lost the drawing bug and started drawing pet portraits for friends and family, totally understanding the love and bond between an owner and their pets and the joy they bring.

Anne works from one main photo for each dog or cat. Photos taken in natural light, getting up close to your subject and not using the zoom are definitively the best and the more detail in the photograph, the better the portrait will be. Taking many photos means you can pick your favourite. A good tip is to look for a photograph that contains a happy memory, you'll love the portrait more and it will make you smile.

Contact Anne to get booked in or start a conversation.

I am a crazy dog mum of 2 with a mission to promote healthy treats, with no hidden nasties.

With a variety of meaty, fruit or vegetable treats there really is something for everyone! We pride ourselves that all of our treats are low in fat and have lots of health benefits to ensure your four legged, fur friends are kept healthy! All treats are hypoallergenic, low-fat and grain free.

I make all of the fruit and vegetable treats in my kitchen, alongside being a full time primary school teacher. At the weekends I am all over Kent and surrounding areas at different craft fairs and markets to meet the people buying my products, but I also offer a postal service through our new website randrdogtreats.co.uk or drop me a message!

Kent Companion Dog Training

Ashford and Isle of Sheppey

My name is Alexis and I’ve run Kent Companion Dog Training since 2009.

In 2013 I got my level 5 university diploma in canine behaviour and management, alongside my accreditation with the PDTI as an advanced instructor. I now tutor for them to help other trainers.

In 2024 I was accredited as a dog trainer by the IAABC also.

Over the years I have written 5 simple training books for owners to follow on various subjects including reactivity. These are all available on Amazon!

My passion is helping people with dogs who struggle with dogs or people due to fear and run workshops, courses and offer 1:1 packages on reactivity.

My classes are based in Ashford where I do puppy classes, basic training and various different classes such as parkour, focus and impulse control, lead walking and recall.

My 1:1 training is offered across Kent, where I come to you and tailor the training to the individual dog using positive reinforcement.

I also offer zoom consultations which can make training more accessible and affordable to all.

My belief is that you must always look at the whole picture, taking a holistic approach to help the dog and owner.

I’m the proud owner of a rescue poodle x called Dinger! Like every dog I’ve had in my life, he teaches me daily more about dogs!

I pride myself on being reliable, honest and passionate about helping my clients.

Dogs deserve to be heard.
