Independent Dog Behaviour Specialist

I have always loved dogs, but working full time in London meant that it wasn’t fair to get one until my husband and I suddenly inherited Dougal, a west highland Terrier who was 5 at the time. There wasn’t an option to find him another home, I just started to work from home more until I was there every day. It was at that time that I started to do an advanced dog behaviour diploma and used Dougal in a lot of my case studies along with various holiday boarding dogs that I was now looking after. Having dogs from all kinds of breeds was brilliant – I often worked on any behaviour issues whilst the owner was off on holiday and I  loved seeing the change in both the owner and the dog. Having now achieved my dog diploma I have now given up my corporate job to be a full time dog behaviourist.

I use positive reinforcement to change behaviours and help owners to read their dogs body language so they can be prepared for any scenario. I want the dog and owner relationship to change and become a happier one.

I do a full consultation with all members of the family that have two and four feet. I will provide a detailed report that includes an initial training plan. I am happy for my clients to call me with any questions and I will regularly check on progress and do at least one follow-up visit.

I am also the local stockist for Perfect Fit Harnesses, which with a double ended lead can help take back the control when you have a dog pulling you down the road.
