Hi, I'm Helen!

My very first job began with horses. My love of animals drove my parents mad and my mum often complained that I was never home (as I was always at the yard) and covered in muck. During this time I owned 3 ponies and 1 complicated ex racehorse. In my teens I worked at numerous Racing, Stud and Eventing Stables in the Berkshire area before going to university. On my return I dabbled in the Hospitality and Automotive Industries, finally deciding in 2017 that I needed to be outside and work with animals.

 

In 2017, I launched the Woof Pack, offering Dog Walking, Small Pet & Equine Care. In 2019, I began my Dog Behaviourist Career journey; and  started offering Canine Training and Behaviour Services.  I am a big believer in following the most up to date and ethical methods and practices. I use my knowledge, extensive experience; as well as my hard earned learning credentials to offer the very best outcomes to my clients. I recently began my initial application to the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC) for the role of Clinical Animal Behaviourist and work directly with vets and insurers to help offer affordable Behaviour Modification. 

​

I am an Accredited Behaviourist with the IMDT (IMDTB) which is a Level 5 (Fdsc equivalent) and certified by OCN. I believe that the best care should be available to everyone, which is why I would like to be able to have  my services covered in owners Pet Insurance plans in the future. I am also proud to be; a full member of PACT, the IMDT as a Behaviourist, Easy Peasy Puppy Instructor and Dog Trainer and has achieved ATI status with The Animal Behaviour Training Council. As of 2023 I am now studying Level 6 Dog Training and Behaviour (Bsc equivalent) with The DoGenius Institute. 

 

I am also a very busy Mummy and Step Mummy to 4 beautiful children. We also have 4 dogs and 2 resident cats.
