At First Stone, we are a small, knowledgeable and friendly team with a long and dedicated history of working with dogs.
ABOUT FIRST STONE
We understand the specialist needs of trainers, behaviourists, competitors and handlers who all want the best for both their clients, their own dogs and their working partners.
We offer the UK’s largest selection of dog books, covering all aspects of care, behaviour and learning.
Julia Barnes is our editorial director and co-founder. She is an author in her own right and has helped many aspiring writers cross the barrier from expert trainer to published author. She previously filled a similar role with Ringpress Books and Pet Book Publishing.
John Sellers makes sure the books balance and is responsible for bringing our customers the best from the rest of the world.
Ellen Sellers is head of marketing and promotions, and also manages our sister site, Performance Dog, where our books are available to purchase.
Joanne Gale is the friendly voice on the end of the telephone, who ensures our books get from warehouse to customer as quickly as possible.
Then there is Bear, Remi, Lara, Gus, Stella, Leo, Zak, Orla and Tinka, who keep us all on our toes….
