About Ruth

I’m a Qualified Pet Behaviourist and veterinary nurse and I’m fully insured and a member of the following professional bodies

I work mainly with dogs and cats but I’m happy to assist with other small pets too.
I'm based in the Falmouth/Helston area, but work with pets throughout Cornwall as well as working with clients online throughout the UK too.

I’m mum to 3 amazing children and have 3 wonderful dogs (2 rescue) & a menagerie of rehomed smaller pets including chickens, rabbits, fish, a bearded dragon and tortoise.
My dogs Katie, Jessie and Buddy regularly help out with nervous or anxious dogs.

My studies have included science at University College Galway, veterinary nursing at University College Dublin and I’ve completed various courses through Bicton and Duchy College.

My proudest academic achievement has been studying animal behaviour through https://coape.org

I worked as a veterinary nurse in veterinary practices for 22years, in all aspects of veterinary care and later specialised in helping pets with behaviour issues, I’ve spent 19 wonderful years at Rosemullion veterinary practice and in 2019 decided to set up on my own.

I’m DBS checked and I’m proud to currently work with 2 charities as a behaviour consultant/trainer Our Dog Training Team | Dogs For Autism and https://www.stfrancisnewquay.org.uk

I run puppy socialisation classes and a variety of training classes outdoors in public spaces such as parks, beaches, fields or even through town in for my doggy life skills class.

I work with all breeds of cats and dogs (including banned/exempted breeds) and all types of behaviour problems including dog to dog reactivity, human directed aggression, noise phobias, anxiety, shutdown rescue dogs, elderly pets with cognitive disorders, resource guarders, OCD and PTSD behaviours, pets with separation anxiety as well as conflicts between pets in the home.

I only use kind positive training methods to help bring out the best in your pet.
