There is no “one-size-fits-all” to pet behaviour problems because each animal and their relationship to their owner is unique, and therefore responsive to different treatment. I will provide you with a tailor-made solution using only gentle and kind methods, consisting of a report, with step-by-step guidelines and practical guidance that I will work through with you, for a one-off fee.
Experience & Qualifications
I have been passionate about animals and their welfare all my life. I grew up with Jack Russell Terriers and have owned guinea pigs, hamsters, mice and house rabbits. I live with my husband, two children, rescue Bassett Hound and rescue cat in East Finchley, North London and gave up a PR career with animal welfare charities to work in a more hands-on way with animals through running Puppy School classes covering Crouch End, Hornsey, East Finchley, Muswell Hill, Temple Fortune and surrounding areas, and to work as a Pet Behaviour Counsellor, which I have done for more than 10 years now. I hold the Post-Graduate Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling from Southampton University and have been a full member of the highly regarded Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors for more than ten years. I am accredited by the Animal Behaviour Training Council as both a trainer and a behaviourist. I also train up puppies and dogs to be assistance dogs for those with physical disabilities through Dog A.I.D and as emotional support dogs through Darwin Dogs.
With first-hand experience of owning many rescue dogs, not adequately socialised or trained at all when young, who who have had really bad starts in life, I have direct experience of how important it is to help your puppy learn how to be a well behaved family member, and adjust to the noise and commotion of urban life; the sights, sounds, and unfamiliar dogs and people they will meet on a daily basis.
Classes are kept small to enable one-to-one attention, and are friendly and informal, because if you’re relaxed, your puppy is more likely to be too, and thus more able to learn. I look forward to welcoming you, your puppy, and your family. It is best to book early though, even before you have collected your puppy, as classes can fill up quickly.
