Experienced dog lady/Student canine behaviourist!

Pet care experience

Hey my names abbie and I am crazy about animals (obviously!). I have recently moved to London from living the farm life, and am wanting to keep connected to animals as much as possible whilst I study. I am studying a degree in Canine Behaviour and hope to become a full time Behaviourist on completion. I also worked as a veterinary kennel assistant for years as a teen....so your canine companion will be in safe/knowledgeable hands! Before moving to the city I was a full time freelance dressage/horse riding instructor/livery yard owner. I am well versed in handling huge dogs (what I call horses!) so all breeds welcome, even the real big ones! I have had several dogs of my own from spaniels, bearded collies, scotties and even fostered fox hounds for a summer or two! I’m a fit, fun and energetic person who can provide lots of stimulation for your energetic pet, but love a good chill and a snuggle on the sofa too for the more sedentary types! I live in a spacious maisonette flat surrounded by parks within a 2 minute walk, so plenty of outside fun to be had. Please consider me for your pets holidays, walks, day care and training... it really would be my pleasure!

Abbie is a natural with animals and always has been. I’ve known her my whole life and she has always worked with animals and had pet dogs – so she’s very experienced! Abbie has looked after my cocker spaniel many times and is the only other person I feel genuinely happy leaving him with. She adores dogs and knows a lot about their behaviour and how to handle them. Abbie will show all dogs boundless love and attention, while keeping them happy and safe. Her super energetic and positive personality matches that of dogs, so they always get on like a house on fire! There's no better person to look after your special four-legged friend.

Abbie is a talented dog walker, with a natural way with animals. She has helped me with many dogs, completely trust worthy and reliable. You can tell she enjoys her time with her my dogs. You can tell they do too, they always come back absolutely shattered and hungry. Cant thank her enough so testimonial is least i can do :-)

Information Abbie C. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences ... they’re all beautiful individuals in my eyes! I’m willing to take on more challenging types. Im not a behaviourist YET! but I do have a fair amount of experience when it comes to dogs with nervous aggression. And a solid developing understanding of doggy behaviour! I’m not intimidated and will try as best I can to help be part of a nurturing and positive environment for the more challenging personalities.

A typical day

Park life! Clowning around, fetch, paddling pool fun, access to a super safe and enclosed outdoor area on my doorstep, socialising where appropriate with people and/or other dogs, running, recall, cuddles and snoozes on the sofa, tricks and treats! All the love! I will treat your best friend as my own.
