Every Superdog Needs a Sidekick: My Origin Story

Every sidekick has an origin story, and mine didn’t begin with a grand plan or a lifelong calling. It started by accident—shaped by a few legendary dogs, a broken heart, a couple of plot twists, and one sentence that hit me like a radioactive spider bite: “Why don’t you do it?”

From the moment my parents adopted our first family dog to help tiny-me overcome my fear, the universe was already assembling my team. Harry, the rescue who comforted me like a furry guardian angel. Harvey, the gentle giant with a reactive streak who taught me patience and empathy. And Harley—the puppy who sparked my obsession and became the first true Superdog in my life.

Then entered Murray. Chaotic. Brilliant. A four-legged whirlwind with the nose of a bloodhound and the self-control of a toddler in a sweet shop. He didn’t just change my path—he recruited me. His mission became my mission: learn everything, train harder, and unlock the superpowers hidden inside every dog.

Alongside these canine heroes came the plot twists: a breakup, redundancy, the COVID shutdowns, and years of shadowing experienced trainers like an apprentice learning from the masters. Every chapter levelled me up until, cape on and confidence earned, I passed my IMDT assessment and stepped into my own story.

That’s how Superdogs was born. Not as a business, but as a hero team-up—dedicated to helping owners understand their dogs, prevent them from ever needing to enter rescue, and discover the awesome abilities their dogs already have.

Because every dog has a superpower.
My job is to help you find it.
