AbbeyPet provides behaviour services for dogs, cats and other companion animals, puppy training courses and individual dog training.  Behavioural problems exhibited by companion animals are wide and varied and can include aggression, destructiveness, excessive vocalisation, self-mutilation, toileting problems, marking, nervousness, problems with car travel and general control.  AbbeyPet can offer help with these and other behaviour problems, and can develop treatment plans that are suitable for individual pets, and are also suitable for their owner’s circumstances.  Behaviour consultations are conducted in line with the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) guidelines.  

I also provide one to one dog training - all training is force-free and based upon scientifically proven learning theory.  

AbbeyPet is run by Dr. Jo Whitehead.  Jo has both the academic qualifications (BSc, (Hons), MSc, PhD) and the years of experience necessary to be a companion animal behaviour counsellor.  She is a full member of the Pet Professional Guild, an association which promotes and encourages force-free training, is registered with the Kennel Club on their Accredited Instructor scheme and is a provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC).
