Information:
I am a Companion Animal Behaviour Practitioner and I specialise in cat behaviour, from pets to show cats and breeding queens and studs. I also undertake behaviour work and training with dogs, and occasionally other pets.

Behaviour consultations are via veterinary referral, and are usually carried out by a home visit. I also take on cat cases that are further afield via telephone consultations.

Dog Training Classes are held in North Devon and run as 6 week courses. Please call for more details.

By using a reward based training programme the experience is enjoyable for you and your dog. Your dog will look forward to training sessions and will learn the behaviours in a relaxed and controlled environment.

I also provide One to One training in your own home if you feel your dog needs or would benefit from individual attention in your own environment.
