After finishing her studies, American born Leigh Hall moved to Europe where she has been working as a guide dog mobility instructor since 1995 (in Belgium, Holland, and Sweden). She is a certified behaviour assessor, has taught various courses in dog behaviour, and she trained one of the first dual-purpose dogs in Europe (a combination guide dog/assistance dog).

Hans Van Den Broeck has a bachelor's degree in Applied Psychology and wrote his thesis on the physical and mental effects of a guide dog on its owner. He has been working as a guide dog mobility instructor (in Belgium and Sweden) since 2000. His further interests include wolves and other animals.

We currently share our home with several dogs, two horses (one loves to play fetch) and two potbelly pigs.
