Hands on Experience

I am an experienced, qualified animal behaviourist. I use positive reward-based methods - being kind is not a sign of weakness! I keep my skills up to date with modern, science-based methods, and continual professional development. I am the Director of The Dogenius Institute, an online education provider for dog trainers and behaviourists.

I focus on family dogs and cats, from puppy and kitten stages onwards – and of course, training their guardians, too.

I specialise in aggression and fearful behaviours but am happy to work with more general issues too.

Methods have changed a lot since I began as a professional trainer. I use positive reinforcement (reward-based) training which is ethical, highly effective, kind, and most of all welfare-friendly. Animals deserve our utmost respect, and harsh methods are not effective or necessary.

How I can help

Dogs

Perhaps your vet has suggested you need help from a trainer or behaviourist. Or perhaps it’s something you realise you need.

If you’re struggling to cope with a dog who is having problems that are affecting you or your family it can be hard to know how to move forward. Everyone in the family is affected, it can sometimes cause arguments, and everyone has their own ideas.

As both a professional who works with four-pawed clients and their owners, as well as a pet owner myself, I know just how much it hurts when something is going wrong.

I work towards helping your dog, and you, enjoy your time together. I help dogs with aggression, barking, toileting, housetraining, fear, guarding and a wide a range of other behaviour problems.

With my guidance I can help you to get to the causes, and put a plan in place to start things moving in the right direction.

Cats

Dogs

Does your cat have behaviour issues? Are you struggling to cope with a cat who is having problems that are affecting you or your family? It’s time to seek a qualified professional and book a cat behaviour consultation to helping your cat – and you – enjoy your time together.
