Meet Your Behaviourist

Hi, I’m Kate, a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB), with an MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare, and a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy. This means I have completed extensive, formal education in canine behaviour, and continue to invest in ongoing professional development every year.

I use only ethical, evidence-based methods, grounded in the latest behavioural science. My work is fear-free and welfare-focused—because your dog’s emotional safety comes first.

🧠 What is Dog Behavioural Support?

Dogs aren’t being “naughty” when they behave in challenging ways—often, they are expressing fear, frustration, confusion, or anxiety. Behavioural support focuses on uncovering the root cause of the behaviour and developing a plan to change it, compassionately and effectively.

I always work under veterinary referral. This ensures we fully understand your dog’s medical background, as health issues often contribute to behavioural changes. Don’t worry—I’ll provide a simple form for your vet to complete.

🐾 What to Expect from Your Behaviour Support Package

Your comprehensive behaviour support package includes everything you need to begin making real, lasting change (there is also an option of a basic support package, outlined below)

1. Initial Behaviour Consultation (up to 2 hours)

Held in your home (if you’re local to Harrogate), this session allows me to assess your dog’s behaviour, environment, history, and daily life in depth. I offer immediate support strategies during this meeting.

2. Full Behaviour Report & Personalised Plan

After the consultation, you’ll receive a comprehensive, tailored behaviour modification plan. This is also shared with your vet to ensure a collaborative approach.

3. Two Follow-Up Sessions

We’ll meet again (in-person or via Zoom) to review progress, adjust the plan, and provide hands-on support where needed.

4. WhatsApp & Email Support
(8 Weeks)

Ongoing support means you’re never alone in this process. I’m available throughout the 8-week package period to answer questions, troubleshoot, and provide reassurance.
