Hi, seeing the impact Bale made to Harry and our family has made me so passionate about the services we can provide to support other families. I have a background in psychology and adore dogs. I love our growing Bale's Buddies family!

Director & Bale's Dad
Hi, I grew up working alongside my parents breeding dogs and showing at Crufts. I ABSOLUTELY love dogs!! I've applied all my years of experience on training Bale to help Harry and it is so rewarding seeing all of Bale's Buddies do the same for their people.
Jodie Stoyle

Dog Trainer & Animal Assisted Therapist
I have been with Bale's Buddies since September 2019. I love spending time with Bertie my dog, who is training to be a Community Therapy Dog, horse riding, cycling and being outdoors, as I love nature. Animals have always been very important to me and the effects they have on your well being.

Hi, I joined the Bale’s Buddies team in June 2020. Growing up around dogs has really made me appreciate what amazing companions they are! I hold an NVQ level 2 in Animal Care and I’ve also worked in various roles in the industry. I love playing with my dog, who’s a mini bull terrier, and also going on long walks in my spare time :)
