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 Borders. I gained full membership of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors in 2007 and I was made a full member of the UK Registry of Canine Behaviourists in 2010. I regularly attend workshops and seminars to keep up to date with new developments. I have become well established within the Veterinary community of Shropshire and many clients are able to claim my fee through their pet insurance. I live with my human family plus two Dogs, Cat and Guinea Pigs in Shrewsbury.
