What people say...
"I was desperate when we first contacted you, I honestly thought we might have to put Jake to sleep because I was so worried about his aggression. You were so kind and I really feel we understand exactly what's going on from his point of view now and how to avoid triggering him. We're working really hard on the treatment plan and he's so much happier now (well, we all are!). Thank you".
Penny (client)
"Rachel was my tutor at University Centre Sparsholt where I studied for my BSc (Hons) in Applied Animal Behaviour. Her knowledge of this subject in a variety of species is impressive. More importantly she was able to impart this knowledge to all of us. Rachel is committed to the ethical treatment of all animals. I would highly recommend."

"I couldn't have asked for any more! Your knowledge has been invaluable to us both. It was very easy to set up (Skype), thorough, precise and easy to understand what you were telling me. And it all made so much sense! You gave me hope when I didn't know what else to do"

"As new parents to our rescue Sally, at the age of 11, she arrived with a few social issues. Cue Rachel! Rachel offered us invaluable advice and support on how to manage Sally's little quirks, helping us to feel confident managing them. Rachel has immense knowledge and understanding of animal behaviour and her advice, guidance and support was invaluable in helping us settle our furbaby into her new home. Thank you Rachel, you are awesome!"
Kath (client)
"Rachel was my tutor when I was doing my Applied Animal Behaviour degree at University Centre Sparsholt. She was very enthusiastic about teaching and I found her to be both supportive and knowledgeable. I particularly liked the way she was clearly interested in every student and was able to connect well when teaching both simple and more difficult areas of study".
Lindsay Mann (former student) BSc (Hons)Dog behaviourist and Full Member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC).
"(The newsletter) is really great and informative, looking forward to more insights into our dogs and knowing some of these things just makes you love them a bit more."
