Qualifications

I have had a life-long interest in animals, their behaviour and well-being. I also have an M.A in education and have been involved in teaching and training for many years. In 1981 I gained an Honours degree in Zoology from Nottingham University. I am a member of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog trainers).

I completed the Post Graduate Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling at the University of Southampton in 2006. This 2 year course covers learning theory and application, neurophysiology, ethology, psychology, welfare and ethics. It also gives the opportunity to apply the theory in practical case studies. This is the only course at this advanced level, which is specific to the behaviour counselling profession.

Experience

I live in a multi animal household with 4 cats, 9 dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. I have had an interest in horses for many years. I have run a tortoise sanctuary for over 20 years and deliver workshops and lectures to tortoise owners and veterinary professionals. I have written articles and other materials to help improve the welfare of tortoises and reptiles in captivity in the UK.

I have run dog training classes for 10 years and have been involved in developing courses for others in this field. I have an interest in heelwork to music, agility and the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme. I work with my dog Molly in the Pets as Therapy (PAT dogs) field, visiting old age people's homes. I visit schools with my dogs helping to teach children how to stay safe around dogs.
