I am a qualified animal behaviour consultant and a Provisional Member of the APBC who is passionate about animal welfare and supporting people to have the best relationship possible using a compassionate and trauma -sensitive dog centred approach. I am also a trained in Family Dog Mediatior utilising the LEGS model created by Kim Brophy, this model incorporates all of the elements that contribute to your dog’s behaviour.

​

Learning-All of your dogs’ learning across their life-time.
Environment- All of the environments your dog has been exposed to in their life-time and how this shapes their behaviour. It inc

udes not just their physical environment but their social environment and social interactions. These influence how your dog responds, interacts and experiences their world. This includes whether their environment is impoverished or appropriately enriched. 
Genetics- These are all of the inherited traits and characteristics that your dog is born with including breed traits. Your dogs genetics are the building blocks for their physical traits, behaviour and any potential health or behaviour issues they might be predisposed to. Generics always interact with your dogs environment. They are not predictive and only one factor in your dog's behaviour and health. 
Self- Your dogs’ self refers to their unique internal influences their behaviour, physical health and emotional and psychological well-being. It encompasses every aspect we need to consider to provide your dog with individualised care and support.

​

I have a special interest in dogs who are very fearful or who have experienced trauma to help them begin to thrive. I also work under vet referral but please don’t let that put you off it is at no cost to you. I am also able to support you with:
