Need Help with Problem Behaviours?

I am a COAPE-certified dog behaviourist and an accredited MHERA practitioner.

 

MHERA is an innovative framework designed to assess animal emotionality, particularly in the context of behavioural issues. If your dog is exhibiting troubling behaviours, it’s likely that they are struggling to cope with their emotional responses to certain situations or triggers. I can help evaluate your dog’s overall well-being and guide you in modifying their emotional reactions in challenging circumstances.
