DOG BEHAVIOUR CONSULTANT
The lasting tailored solutions
🐾 Important Update
Mind Pro Animal Behaviour is now CLOSED as I transition into my new full-time role with Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust. Becoming a mum has shifted my needs, and greater stability and being part of a team feels right for this season of my life.
If you’re looking for support with your dog, I recommend contacting one of the trusted trainers below.
In the future, there may be an option to book sessions directly through Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust, but I don’t yet have a timeline for this.
Thank you to everyone who has trusted and supported Mind Pro Animal Behaviour over the past 10+ years — it has truly meant a lot. 💚
