A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Charlie, a canine behaviourist providing owners with Dog Behaviour and Training Support, driven by my passion for Canine Welfare.
My fascination with behaviour was initially sparked after studying Psychology A-Level and being introduced to Learning Theory...I was hooked! A few years on I decided I wanted to become a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB) so I could help owners understand their pet's behaviour, providing the highest standard of practice possible.
I graduated University Centre Askham Bryan with an MSc Applied Animal Behaviour & Welfare and have since gained a breadth of knowledge and experience working in industry with a variety of dog breeds.
Any spare time is spent entertaining my two Spaniels going on adventures, agility and scentwork are a few activities to name!
As a Clinical Animal Behaviourist (Pre-Certified with CCAB Ltd) and Candidate Member of the Fellowship of Animal Behaviour Clinicians (FABC), I am proud to adhere to high ethical standards and code of practice.
I am committed to evidence-based practices supported by scientific research, prioritising the emotional welfare of dogs. I believe in using positive reinforcement training methods to promote a harmonious relationship between you and your dog and achieve longevity of good behaviours.
I take a holistic approach to understanding your dog's behaviour and routine, ensuring that training or behaviour modification is tailored to your individual canine companion.
How can I help you?
