Rebecca Howe Pet Services and Dog Training

Becky has been working with companion animals since 2008. In 2011, she completed a BSc (Hons) in Applied Animal Management with a keen interest in companion animal behaviour and welfare. She later completed an Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour (Canine) with Distinction. Becky regularly attends courses in canine training and behaviour as well as attending regular workshops, seminars and conferences.

Becky is an ACE Associate Tutor, incorporating these techniques into the dogs training. Through the use of ACE Free Work we can gain valuable observations from each dog so we can better understand them and meet their needs. ACE forms part of the dogs education to help in many ways including helping them learn valuable life skills and giving them a way to relax. She is also a Puppy School tutor, teaching puppy training and socialisation classes, a Dog Parkour UK Instructor and level 1 Evaluator, offering classes and workshops in this fun dog activity and a WSDA Scent Work Instructor. 

Becky is an ABTC Registered Animal Training Instructor and a Provisional member of the APBC (which means she has met the required academic qualifications and is working towards submitting an application for full membership). 

Becky is passionate about helping owners understand their dogs and be able to listen to what they are telling us. Many people will say dogs don’t talk but she believes they do, we just need to learn how to listen to them. All the training methods used are kind, fair and force free with a specific approach on giving the dogs choice and a rewarding experience. When using force free, positive reinforcement training and allowing the dogs to have a choice we can build an amazing bond with them, help them enjoy their time learning with us and really understand them.
