A DOG trainer and behaviour specialist has been presented with a Test Valley Business Incentive Grant.
The leader of the Test Valley Borough Council Cllr Phil North met with Lusi Stoodley on Tuesday, January 17 to present her with the exciting grant.
Lusi recently started her House of Dogs business in Enham Alamein, combining 1:1 training packages with doggy daycare.
Cllr North posted on Facebook: "The council’s £750 Business Incentive Grant is intended to make a positive contribution towards the cost of starting up a business in the borough - and although it’s a relatively small amount of money has a real impact.
