Animal Psychology Clinic

After getting a new rescue pup he was very anxious and under socialised so my vet had recommended going to see Kathryn. We travelled to the clinic for an assessment and Kathryn was brilliant through and through. There was no judgement at all and she was extremely knowledgeable and laid out a thorough training plan to help. Since following Kathryn’s guidance, Benji has been a different dog. He can now cope well with strangers in the house, he is a star when we are out for walks and we are working on helping him with his noise sensitivity. Kathryn has been available to contact at every step when I’ve been unsure about anything and I’ve also been availing of her puppy classes which have been very beneficial for Benji. Would highly recommend Kathryn for any behavioural problems have seen amazing difference and growth within my dog! :)

I would highly recommend Kathryn she is extremely knowledgeable and has been a brilliant trainer for both our dog Winnie and me! Kathryn provided us with a detailed behavioural report after an in-depth assessment of Winnie's behaviours which helped us understand potential triggers. There was a clear and detailed treatment plan following our assessment with no judgement or harsh tactics. Through the consistent application of Kathryn's recommendations we have seen a fantastic improvement in Winnie's behaviours and Kathryn was able to recommend subtle adjustments over time to optimise our results. I would highly recommend Kathryn she is extremely knowledgeable and supportive, is down to earth, gives clear goals and put us at ease during what was a very stressful time.

Brought my 4 month old border collie who had struggled in traditional puppy classes which were too intense and too close to other dogs for him to keep under threshold. Also had issues with persistent nipping. Kathryn was excellent in approaching these with her experience and knowledge of behaviour in dogs. Even more than this it was her patience that helped most of all. We were always provided the time and space to slowly build up my pup’s confidence and calmness around other dogs and address his needs that were exacerbating nipping using positive reinforcement and understanding of his behaviour and its reasons. As a result I’ve ended up with an excellent start with my pup and am now able to build him up more and more in other classes and environments where he is now impressive for his age. Please consider Kathryn’s classes if you want a good understanding of your pup and why they do things and how to train for these. I feel that if I had continued at more traditional classes I may have ruined my bond with my pup and created reactivity. Now I get excellent engagement from him and we have great understanding from each other I’m delighted! Thank you Kathryn!
