Having been controlled and manipulated by larger than life Collie X for about 12 years I decided that enough was enough and returned to college to study for the Advanced Study Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling at Southampton University. I helped pay my way through college by working as a dog walker. Since graduating in 2004 I have been training dogs and sorting out pet behaviour problems in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, the West-Midlands and the Welsh Borders. I gained full membership of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) in 2007 and I was made a full member of the UK Registry of Canine Behaviourists (UKRCB) in 2010. I have recently been awarded the honour of describing myself as a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist by Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB).  I regularly attend workshops and seminars to keep up to date with new developments. Some insurance policies cover behaviour problems and some clients will therefore be able to claim my fee depending upon their insurer and policy. I live with my human family plus two Dogs, Cat and Guinea Pigs in Shrewsbury.
