Behaviour consults are focused on achieving your goals. We will apply the most recent developments in dog behavioral assessment and training to work towards resolving behaviour problems. Roxy has a degree in Animal Behavior science from the University of Lincoln and PGCE (qualified teacher status).
We are proud to offer force free, reward based one-to-one dog training, behaviour counselling and therapy throughout Berkshire. Alongside exemplary qualifications we have built up an outstanding portfolio of the work we do.
