I strive to continuously educate myself in the most up to date scientific research. It is still surprising how many trainers are working using old and detrimental methods. It soon shows that where knowledge ends, violence begins. I gained a first class degree in Animal Behaviour and shortly after began working as the Dog Trainer and Behaviour Coordinator, at the National Animal Welfare Trust. I am a full member of the APDT, ABTC and provisional APBC, I have a soft spot for rescue dogs and strive for that light bulb moment when the dog realises what it needs to do. Anyone that says they have a ‘perfect’ dog is fibbing and it is unacceptable and delusional to portray that dogs have to be perfectly behaved and bombproof. They are thinking, feeling creatures with a mind of their own. We can only guide them as best as we can with our current level of knowledge. I run Suppawt, a bespoke, understanding and tailored training service. Specialising in Rescue dogs and those with reactivity. www.suppawt.com
