Clinical Animal Behaviourist working across Scotland

... using ethical and effective methods to help you enjoy life with your dog.

When our dogs struggle it can make life very stressful for all. It can turn everyday, simple, should-be-enjoyable tasks (e.g. dog walks, leaving your dog home alone so you can go out for dinner) into challenging situations that cause stress, frustration, worry, and upset (and not just for our dogs!) After all, we just want to ensure our dogs are living their best life!

​

If this sounds familiar you are in the right place... I work with owners to give them the right tools, coaching, and support to help them change their dog's behaviour. Sessions can take place in your home, garden and out on dog walks - where ever you need the training to work. We can also work online which is a great way to tackle separation anxiety. You can enjoy the everyday with your dog again.

​

I work throughout Scotland covering Perthshire, Dundee, Fife, and Stirling for in-person sessions and across the globe for online sessions (I have worked with clients in Edinburgh, Uist, Italy and even Los Angeles!)

Hi! My name is Karen and I have 18 years of experience working with animals as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, Registered Veterinary Nurse and dog trainer. I am a qualified animal behaviourist with a diploma in Clinical Animal Behaviour from Edinburgh University, and am a full member of the ABPC.

​

Only scientifically proven methods which are kind, positive, and force-free are used. I can help you change your dog's behaviour without using punishment, fear, or intimidation.

"I've always enjoyed working with Karen - I first met her many years ago when attending classes with my dog which were always fantastic! In more recent years I've been delighted to be able to refer clients to her as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, particularly as having worked with her with my own dogs, I know she is kind, supportive, and lovely to work with, as well as being an excellent trainer and behaviourist."
