I have had an interest in dog behaviour ever since one of my terriers became “reactive”. I wanted to understand why he suddenly changed from a fluffy bundle of fun into a dog who’s sole aim in life was to embarrass me every time we met someone or another dog. Working with a selection of different dogs in my other guise of a pet photographer it made sense to learn more about what makes our dogs tick. Once I started I found it fascinating and just wanted to learn more, and I am still learning more every day.

I would now like to offer my knowledge and experience to assist dogs being adopted through “Break The Chains – For Dogs Bulgaria” and their new guardians. Adopting these dogs comes with a wealth of challenges, that can sometimes end up in the adoptions failing. If I can provide support with the issues faced then I am not only helping the dogs but, hopefully, making it easier for dogs and their guardians to communicate in a positive and consistent manner. Helping to make some these adoptions a little easier and happier for all concerned.

So what am I offering?

Approximately a months coaching/support.

Cost: £100 (£25 to Break The Chains)

If further coaching/support is required then the feedback / follow up loop can be repeated on an ad-hoc basis at a cost of £50 a session (£10 for each extra session going to Break The Chains)
