Katie, a climbing coach, says her pooch jumps at the opportunity to stand in front of the camera.

"I've always been creative, and Marley is so driven and loves to work for treats, so it works well.  I'm a very creative person, and I love nothing more than bringing an idea to life," she says.

Marley is "incredibly intelligent", Katie says. And while she loves posing, getting treats helps keep her motivated too. "I'll often release her from a position, and she will stay put. Clearly, in the hope that she'll get extra treats."  

"Everybody I speak to about the pictures is always blown away by how she sits so well for the images. I've worked really hard on Marley's training so that helps but she just wants to do it too," she continues.

Marley's outfits are mostly children's clothes. "I usually buy them from charity shops or online if I can't find exactly what I'm looking for in a charity shop," Katie says. 

"I enjoy making people smile but I just enjoy working with Marley. Life has become quite busy and it's nice to take some one-on-one time together."
