✨ Experience. Expertise. Walkabout Canine Consulting. ✨
Serving Kingsville, Leamington, Chatham-Kent, Windsor-Essex, and virtual clients worldwide. Helping dogs and their families find calm, connection, and long-lasting results through science-based dog behaviour consulting.  

I am always striving to know better and do better with  continued learning, continued professional development which is mandatory as a certified behaviour consultant.
30 years experience does not mean much if as a professional you are not current in your work.

I  Believe in Humane Training

Essential to a well-adjusted, happy, & confident dog.
In an unregulated industry such as dog training and behaviour, it’s important to understand the facts around methodology and the effects it has on your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

There is importance in researching the work, testimonials, and credentials of the consultants and trainers in which a person seeks advice from.  
These credentials show that a professional is continuing their education to stay informed so that they can provide humane dog training information.

 Understanding the science of learning through education, knowledge and years of hands on experience as with any profession is important.
Those using outdated and harsh methods may not understand the behavioural health and welfare of  animals.  

When working with a professional make sure they keeping up with the science of learning and animal training methods.  
Experience and years in the field will matter just like any profession.

Both the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior have released statements addressing the benefits of humane training methods, and the unintended fallout of more “traditional” methods.

  While I continue to learn and complete and pass courses, webinars and learning since 1989  there are way too many to list .
I learned a long time ago from a veterinarian I was employed by that continuing education was critical.  
Once I started my own business  I knew this is what I needed to do to give the best service and continue to do so For you.  I did this for every service I offered whether it was pet care, dog walking, pet sitting, foster care, shelter work and of course training and behaviour.
Every professional should be upgrading their knowledge yearly.  
We can never say "I know everything there is to know"
I am committed to learning so that I can know better and do better for you and your dogs.  I want this for you and heck even myself as a dog carer and guardian.
