Hi - I'm Ceri! I'm a Certified Canine Behaviourist and Dynamic Dog Practitioner. I have studied and met many dogs with various issues. My job can be devastating, frustrating, dirty, smelly, frightening and sometimes dangerous and certainly emotionally draining. However, I get to spend time with amazing people helping them resolve their problems with their amazing dogs. I get to watch them grow in confidence and skill sets - yes I have the best job in the world!
I currently have two dogs, Charlie, my staunch
companion and teacher of 13 years & 8-year-old Millie. Millie didn't have a very good start in life and had an innate fear of men as a result, however, she is now an extraordinary little character and happily trots along beside me. I have also previously owned two rescue dogs (Sonic & Ben) both with reactive issues and one with separation anxiety, also my German Short Haired Pointer Jasper, who died of Heart Failure (sudden death)at 5 years old, he was exceptionally clever and needed a ton of mental stimulation - so you can be assured I am no novice when it comes to assessing the various factors contributing to the behaviour you are concerned about.
There is, of course, still a lot we don't know about dogs, but I make sure I continue with my education and continuing professional development to keep up-to-date with new research areas so you, my client, can feel confident knowing I am maintaining and enhancing my knowledge and skills.
