K9 Kneads

I teach puppy training classes and am a full member of the APDT, Association of Pet Dog Trainers, membership number 01453 and a provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors, which means having gained the relevant academic qualifications I am gaining the practical experience necessary for full membership. I like to keep up to date with the latest research in training and behav

iour by attending many courses, seminars and workshops along with working towards accreditation as a Canis Clicker Training Instructor. My passion is in animal husbandry and welfare with an emphasis on fear-free handling and training. As a canine massage therapist, I treat a variety of dogs of all ages from those with a specific problem such as degenerative disease or trauma, to the agility dog who is required to maintain a high level of performance. Veteran dogs can also respond well to myotherapy which in turn improves their quality of life and welfare. Physical and psychological benefits are achieved by treating muscle and allied soft tissue and addressing any associated compensatory issues. I advise on canine conditioning exercises to improve core strength and musculature in all dogs. I am a Member of the International Association of Animal Therapist, membership number 1380 and adhere to the Veterinary Surgeons Act only carrying out massage on dogs that have a signed veterinary consent form.

BSc (Hons) Canine Behaviour and Training (University of Hull)
Diploma in Canine Myotherapy (Galen Therapy Centre)
Licenced Coach with the Canine Conditioning Academy (UKRS)
Accredited Canine First Aider (The Canine First Aid Company Ltd.)
