I'm thrilled to share that over the past year, I’ve been working towards a Diploma in Equine Science: Behaviour & Technology—and I’ve successfully completed it. I passed all of my assignments with outstanding results, earning 33 A+ grades and 3 A grades.

This diploma is recognised at a Master's level, and I’m genuinely proud of the hard work and commitment it took to achieve this.

A sincere thank you to James O’Heare and The Companion Animal Sciences Institute for their support and expertise throughout the course.

I'm now looking forward to assisting people with their horses as well as their other pets.

Introducing Hope, the Cobberdog who is changing lives in our Assistance Dog Program! Discover more about these unique dogs and why they are a fantastic choice for assistance and therapy roles. 🐶💙 Read more here:

Given that Cobberdogs are still relatively unknown or misunderstood by the general public (and even among some professionals), I thought I’d take a moment to share a little more about them: where they come from, what makes them unique, and why they're such a promising choice for assistance and the...

During Wimbledon, approximately 55,000 tennis balls are used, and these are creatively upcycled into tiny homes for harvest mice, a small native UK rodent.

After the tournament, the used tennis balls, made of rubber and felt, are collected and transformed into cozy shelters by organizations like the British Wildlife Centre.

The balls are hollowed out or modified to create safe, insulated nesting spaces for the mice, providing protection from predators and harsh weather.

This innovative initiative not only reduces waste but also supports conservation efforts for harvest mice, whose populations are declining due to habitat loss.

Our Story

The PATS team is delighted to have helped thousands of Western Australians build stronger relationships with their pets. We equip pet owners with the skills to prevent behavioural issues so they can keep furniture claw-free � and guests jump-free � and even save lives ��

PATS is directed by Charlotte Smithson. Charlotte is a qualified Veterinary Nurse and Animal Behaviourist, as well as the former Head Behaviourist at RSPCA WA. She has studied Animal Behavioural Science at the University of Sydney. She has been working with animals for three decades, and has operated successful animal welfare enterprises both in Australia and the UK.

I can not recommend Charlotte and her lovely team of girls highly enough. Their clicker training brings great results so very quickly with a fantastic side effect for me after thousands of semi squats. I'm looking forward to continuing on with the training to give our little lady Ella the best building blocks to shape our future of a happy , confidant ,well adjusted and obedient fur baby. - Lesley Parkin reviewed PATS — 5 star
