I am a pre-certified CCAB candidate behaviourist with over 25 years of experience working with animals. I have a degree in Zoology and a PhD in Animal Behaviour and Welfare.

I’ve worked with animals in a variety of settings, including companion animals, farms and zoos. I have experience of caring for and training dogs, horses, rodents, farm animals, and exotics. I have taught animal behaviour, welfare, and care to students at the universities of Bristol and Oxford, and I run animal training sessions with home-schooled children in Oxford.

I love working with animals, and I’m a real people-person too so I look forward to working with you and your pets.
