Animal Behaviourist and trainer working to support animals and owners through all that life brings - whether that is a specific struggle or those wanting to promote positive welfare so their animal companion is living their best life possible Welcome to this space, it is the intention of this page to introduce and support people who are interested in animal behaviour and those who may want to expl
ore some of the services offered by a Clinical Animal Behaviourist. She holds an MSc (with Distinction) in Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare; a BSc (Hons) in Psychology; a Post Graduate Certificate in Animal Behaviour and is a Qualified Teacher (holding a PGCE), so you are in good hands whether you are a horse or a human! Whilst the name has changed and the species worked with expanded (mainly to slimline the social media process!), the aims are still very much the same - to support animals and owners through everyday life. It is not my aim to revolutionise animal training with gimmicks or expensive equipment but simply help owners have an animal who is living their best life BECAUSE they are living with you. This will look different for every combination, but there are some fundamental basics which all animals deserve. Equally there are some basics that all animal carers deserve when interacting with their animals. Laura can help you achieve the relationship which allows you both to enjoy each other's company and WANT to do the best for each other. Laura's main focus is offering a Behavioural referral service for horses, dogs and cats. By law, this MUST be conducted under Veterinary Referral to ensure the best care is given to your pet throughout the process. Although the Behaviourist industry is currently unregulated (meaning anyone can call themselves a Behaviourist without any formal training or up-to-date knowledge of animal behaviour), Laura is a member of both FABC (Fellowship of Animal Behaviour Clinicians) and APBC (Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors), so owners can rest assured that her knowledge and practices are kept up-to-date and scrutinised by experts in the field of animal behaviour. Laura is currently working towards her Accreditation to become a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB) and a registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB) so that when the industry does become regulated (plans are in place) she will be able to continue using the term Behaviourist.
