Dog Behaviour and Training

Hello, I’m Claudia, a canine behaviourist and trainer based in East Devon and Exeter.

I specialise in helping owners better understand their dogs’ behaviour and build confident, positive relationships through ethical, evidence-based training and behaviour support.

With professional experience working within training and behaviour roles for some of the UK’s leading animal welfare charities, alongside extensive academic study in canine behaviour, I provide practical, compassionate support tailored to both dog and owner.

My aim is to help you achieve lasting behavioural change through clear guidance, realistic training strategies, and a deeper understanding of your dog’s needs.

Whether you are struggling with behavioural concerns or simply want to build a stronger relationship with your dog, I am committed to supporting you with scientifically informed and welfare-focused methods.

Experience & Qualifications

I have spent years developing both the practical skills and academic knowledge required to support dogs and their owners effectively through training and behaviour work.

I graduated with Merit in a Foundation Degree in Applied Canine Behaviour and Training with the University of Hull and have since completed a BSc in Canine Behaviour Management. In addition, I hold a Canine Training Instructor qualification and maintain professional membership with the Professional Association of Canine Trainers (PACT).

I am also a practitioner member of the Animal Training Instructor (ATI) division of the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC), working under recognised professional and ethical standards. And have successfully demonstrated the knowledge and understanding requirements required for accreditation as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist.

Alongside my private behaviour and training work, I have professional experience working as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist within one of the UK’s largest dog welfare and rehoming organisations.
