Pamela Moffat
Personal dog trainer

I've been learning about dog training and behaviour since 1997 when I brought my first dog home from Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home. Since then I've assisted at training classes, studied and been on numerous dog training and behaviour courses. 

  I trained and worked at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home so it's really important to me to do what I can to avoid rehoming ever becoming an option for your dog. Young, quick-to-learn but 'naughty' dogs are the most commonly surrendered and it's heart-breaking that many of their behaviour issues can be overcome with training they will enjoy and pick up relatively easily.

 

  I'm a lifelong learner and believe in continual professional development, much of the learning I've completed is with some of the top dog trainers, behaviourists and organisations worldwide and includes:

• AbsoluteDogs: Certified ProDog Trainer, Geek behaviour level

• Scentwork UK: Level 1 instructor

• IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) courses: Career as a Dog Trainer, Practical Instructor, Perfect Puppy Foundations, Aggression and Rehab, Behaviour Case Studies

• Diploma in Canine Behaviour Training.

 

  I'm particularly interested in meeting the individual needs of dogs and their people to ensure they can live their best lives together.
