Career Overview

I have been working with animals, and people who love animals, for more than 30 years and I feel very fortunate about it. The combination of knowledge, practical skills and experience I have acquired over the years informs and guides my multidimensional approach when teaching my students and designing/working on projects with animals, owners, staff and other professionals in the Animal Sector, Pet Dog Industry and Academia.

I am a freelance consultant and coach with broad experience in dog behaviour, training, welfare and management. Additionally, I have senior managerial experience in operations, education and evaluation in the armed forces, the public sector, the private and the charity sector.

I am the author of three books and see dogs on behavioural referral from veterinary surgeons in Greece and the UK.
