Anna has owned dogs for many years and has worked with a wide variety of dogs and puppies. She started Pawsability after working for over 20 years solving business problems, allowing her to amalgamate a life long animal love with her in-depth problem solving experience. Pawsability is simply about bringing out the best in your pet through gentle and effective means, and really taking on board the fact that your pet suffers from similar emotional stressors as we do. Humans can talk about their problems, tell someone and think about what action to take to sort them out. Unfortunately our pets are limited in what they can do for themselves to change things. We therefore need to step in and help, by really understanding the motivation and emotion behind their behaviour, and then looking at ways to resolve the emotional turmoil, and help them get back to normality. |

What does being a COAPE Association Behaviour Practitioner mean? Well, for a start, it's quite a mouthful! So, it's kindly shortened to CABP. It means that Anna has studied under the country's most eminent experts in Pet Behaviour and Training, and has been accepted and formally registered to practice as a member of the COAPE Association of Practitioners. Not only does this mean that Anna has the backing of these experts, but it also creates a global wealth of knowledge which can be called upon at any time, when more tricky cases present themselves. We also have a very active forum which we use to keep up to date with the behaviour and training information, and have active discussions about the more complex cases. |
