"Hi, my name is Ruth and I’m the Education and Community Officer for Galway & the Western region. I’m based in Galway where I live with my children and lovely lurcher Max who we adopted as a pup last year. We live close to the sea so Max is spoilt for choice when it comes to walks and runs in the Wild West! I come from a strong professional Community Development background and if you have any queries around how I could support your local community in relation to Education or Community involvement please get in touch."

"Hi, my name is Paul and I am the midlands Education and Community Officer. My region covers Westmeath, Longford, Offaly, Cavan and Laois, as well as parts of Kildare, Meath, Monaghan and Leitrim-phew! I’m essentially the port of call for Dogs Trust education in the midlands. I live in Meath with my lovely lurcher Magic. Magic used to be on the education team too, as my education dog (in fact her own profile here), but as she’s in her senior years now, she has hung up her Dogs Trust harness and retired. If you would like to get in touch, I’d love to hear from you."

"Hi, I’m Heather. I’m Dogs Trust Irelands Education and Community Officer in the Southeast. My community is Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Wexford, and Waterford. I am passionate about educating and empowering people to work towards a day when Ireland is the best country in the world to be a dog! I enjoy getting out and about whether it be presenting our dog safety messages to the people of the Southeast or roaming around with my own two dogs Jack and Ted, looking for a new walking trail to explore!"
