I worked at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for eight years as a dog behaviourist and rehomer.

This included performing comprehensive temperament assessments, training and behaviour modification, and rehoming.

I also developed and facilitated behavioural and rehoming staff training at Battersea.

During my time at Battersea I worked with thousands of dogs from an enormous range of breeds, ages, sizes, temperaments, training needs and behaviour problems.

I gave behavioural and rehoming advice at various events whilst working at Battersea including:

  • Crufts
  • Discover Dogs

  • Ideal Home Show
  • Pride - London
  • South of England Show
  • Hertfordshire County Show

I was involved in several media projects at Battersea including various TV shows and internal information videos:

  • Animal Rescue Live (BBC1)
