Meet the Loco About Cocoa Family
​Cassie - I have a degree in PR & Marketing and spent over a decade working in various marketing roles. I am a reward based dog trainer who loves helping people understand their dogs full abilities and how they can communicate better. I have used this training with our own dogs, Brock our show cocker spaniel, Boo our adorable border collie, Yogi our tri-colour border collie and Dora our working cocker spaniel. They keep me busy but I manage to juggle the dog training and the Sales & Marketing for Loco About Cocoa to the website, social media, print management, packaging, event sourcing and booking, I'm always super busy. I love running Yogi and Boo in both Agility and Jumping competitions, and they have all done incredibly well with lots of trophies and awards, Love them xxxx
​
Adrian - re-trained to become a qualified chef with a City & Guilds NVQ in professional cookery and Level 4 Award in Managing Food Safety in Catering. I completed my final 5 years of a 25 year career in the Royal Marines by mentoring and managing trainee chefs in a cookery school before pursuing my passion for working with chocolate. I started making chocolates as a hobby, the first few years I would gift them to friends and family for special occasions before turning it into a business. I spent months perfecting the tempering process and experimenting with flavours and textures to produce a chocolate that looks and tastes unlike anything else you can buy. I love our furry friends, Yogi, Brock, Boo & Dora. Also love my guitar but don't play it enough.
Brock - I'm a Show Cocker Spaniel, super cute (obviously) and I give the best cuddles. I have spent years training my slave Adrian to do everything I want. when I want it. Milk after a walk, cheese at 9pm and a walk around the garden 2:30am (EVERY morning).  Likes: love being naughty (keeps mum Cassie on her toes), love food, all food and stretching across a nice comfy bed to sleep. Top of the love list is my mum Cassie. 
Yogi -  I'm a Tri Colour Border Collie, I have super soft fur, a really hard head (perfect for bumping into people when i get excited). I'm super brave, always protecting Brock, Boo & Dora. I'm a grade 7 Agility competitor, who taught Cassie everything she knows. Likes:  jumping, chasing deer in the woods (mum won't take me there anymore booooo.), I also like to bark at anyone who talks to my mum Cassie when it's my walk time.
Boo - I'm the perfect handsome loyal Border Collie. I'm a Grade 7 Agility competitor and one day I will compete in either Crufts or Olympia when mum learns to run faster. Likes: I love to meet all dogs, especially sight hounds, (still warming to Dora though, it's only been a couple of years so there's still hope), love chasing Yogi, my big brother, running agility and jumping courses, but top of the list is being with my mum, Cassie.​
​
Dora - I'm the most adorable Working Cocker Spaniel and I rule the roost. I have no boundaries, if its there it must be for me. I have no fear and I like to keep busy until about 10pm when my eyes start to get really heavy and I'm ready for bed. Likes: Food (I'm always ravenous), going out to explore, Sitting/sleeping on someone's  head (warm and cosy and they can't go to the fridge without me), love cuddles off my mum, Cassie.
Together we are the Loco About Cocoa Family
​Because of Cassie's love of dogs she is a sponsor of The Dogs Trust. She sponsors The Old Dog's Home.  The Oakfield Old Dogs Home is the perfect place for the oldies to spend their twilight years, with comfy sofas to curl up on, lovely carers always nearby and they've even got their own TV to watch! The OADs (Old Age Dogs) come in all ages shapes and sizes - but each and every one of them is special! Even though they are dogs who are getting on a bit, that doesn't mean they don't enjoy life to the full!
We like to support charity with our work too. Adrian very much supports SSAFA. They have been serving the Armed Forces community for 130 years. SSAFA want Armed Forces (both Regular & Reserves), veterans and their families know they can depend on SSAFA for support now and for the rest of their lives. He attends one of their annual fund raising events in Plymouth which is always a roaring success due to the dedicated team of volunteers.
