Dogwiser

My name is Linda and I am a qualified dog behaviourist located in CORSHAM. I am a fear- and force-free practitioner.

I also do home visits in CHIPPENHAM, CORSHAM, MELKSHAM and CALNE.

I do behaviour consultations at your home and send you an email summary of my visit - suggesting home environment/behaviour modifications.  

It is usual for us all to go for a dog walk during my first visit. We discuss your dog's walking equipment and I may suggest making changes to elements of this.

I usually recommend 1-3 follow-up visits so that we can review the behaviour modifications suggested in my summary.

I am interested in/knowledgeable about most  dog/puppy behaviour issues.  Issues I am commonly asked to help with include: pulling,  dog-dog reactivity, excess barking, jumping up, and separation anxiety. 

I am interested in your dog's harness being a good fit (not too baggy) and also in the subject of head collars/front ring harnesses (for dogs who pull or who are dog-dog reactive). 

I am able to advise you about keeping the peace in a multi-dog household and enjoy working with families who may also have a baby, toddlers, or a cat.

I was brought up with English springer spaniels (two or three at a time) and have worked for 4.5 years in a large dog boarding kennels.  I have worked with police dogs, prison dogs, rescue dogs, and pet dogs.

I am KIND, QUALIFIED, PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE and INSURED. I aim to enable good citizens at both ends of the leash!
