Not a problem!
The principles of learning apply to all species, & use of welfare-centred positive reinforcement training is for all pets!
​Not a dog or a cat?!

Caveat! I am an ASAB-accredited Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist for cats or dogs, therefore outwith these 2 species, for complex behaviour problems, you would be referred to someone who's expertise was in your species.


However, from a prevention & training point of view, & for behaviour management, my Veterinary Technician Specialism in Behaviour & Animal Training Certification are both multi-species-applicable, so I am happy to work with a multitude of species, either pets (and small/pet livestock), in many training circumstances & situations.  I have successfully worked not just with dogs & cats, but to help sheep, horses, chickens, alpacas, rabbits & guinea pigs - all to help build confidence & skills, and to augment welfare & the human-animal bond.

Often non-domesticated, so-called "exotic" pet animals are less used to being trained & handled, so care needs to be taken to ensure welfare & husbandry needs are met, & that training is a positive experience for them. Not only can working with these pets be a lot of fun for them & their owners, but it can also significantly improve their wellbeing, help them be successful in our world, as well as teaching us so much about them & their wants & needs too.
