About Me
f you ask anyone to describe me, the guarantee is they will say animal mad!
After 12 years as a secondary school teacher, in 2015, I decided to finally follow my dream of becoming an Animal Behaviourist and trained with COAPE to achieve Level 4 Diploma In The Principles of Companion Animal Behaviour and Training to pursue a career working as a dog trainer and feline behaviourist. As well as conducting behavioural consultations and training sessions I also run workshops and teach dog training classes from puppies to advanced.
I have been an animal lover and owner all her life and currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 chickens and some fish! Until recently I also had a horse and continue to be active within the horse world. I have participated in a variety of different fields with my dogs including agility, freestyle to music, flyball, gundog work and worked our way through the Kennel Club Good Citizen scheme.
I am the Coordinator and PAT Assessor for Pets As Therapy for my area. I have also bred spaniels in the past as well as having experience working at a veterinary practice developing knowledge on a range of different medical and behavioural issues and volunteering for the Cats Protection League.
I have a strong passion for Nutrition and how this affects behaviour and quality of life. I have completed the online Nutritional Course with NaturesMenu to become a Raw Feeding Expert Advisor. I am also an Ambassador for the pet food company Butternut Box. I am currently a dog trainer for Dogs For Autism training assistance dogs. I also volunteer for DogAID training owners to train their own dogs to become assistance dogs.
I have attended various CPDs on Canine Physio, Tellington TTouch, Canine Chiropractor, Nutrition and canine psychology.
I have completed many Canine and Advanced Canine First Aid with Rachel Bean RVN and attended various workshops as part of my CPD. I have strong links with local veterinary surgeries.
I carry out my work using force free, positive reinforcement methods. All my work consists of non-aversive or invasive techniques based on trust and mutual respect. With consistency, dedication and careful management, I believe we can conquer the majority of issues. I require an animal to be fully vet checked and request medical history before each consultation.
I am fully insured with public liability and personal indemnity protection as well as DBS cleared.
