My name is Ange and I am a qualified Canine Behaviour Practitioner with a Diploma in Canine Behaviour (ISCP), and a Level 4 Advanced Canine Behaviour Diploma. I have completed my Master Course in Aggression in dogs and I am mentored by world-renowned aggression expert, Michael Shikashio. I am a Family Dog Mediator after completing my L.E.G.S Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediator Professional Course with Kim Brophy. With training and professional experience in puppy and adult dog training, rescue dogs, competition obedience training, fun agility training, canine coaching, and search dog handling. I am a Certified Trick Instructor, Canine Conditioning Fitness Coach, Stunt Dog Judge and Animal Actors Certified Evaluator with Do More With Your Dog. I also hold qualifications as a Scentwork UK instructor, UK Sniffer Dogs Tracking and Scent Detection Dog Instructor, WSDA instructor, and in scent enrichment.
By specialising in the use of scent work, I help the dog to use their main natural sense (nose) for mental stimulation and enrichment. This especially helps reactive/sensitive dogs build their confidence and redirect their focus. I have completed my Master Course in Aggression in dogs and mentored by world-renowned aggression expert, Michael Shikashio, which gives me a wide knowledge of different forms of aggression in dogs.
Reactive/sensitive dogs are a particular passion for me and not only have I focussed my professional studies around this subject, but I also have personal experience of living with an anxious and reactive dog. Working with a force-free approach (I do not use any force or physical discipline in my training), I use a calm, relaxed, and patient manner to provide the most benefit to the dog and avoid stressing them. Ravendale Training and Behaviour are members of INTOdogs, The Pet Professional Guild, The Dog Welfare Alliance, Pet professional Network and member of ICAN.
Although already holding several professional qualifications and accreditations, I am committed to continuing my learning and experience. I aim to provide help and support to dogs and their owners. I am continuing my studies in all areas of canine studies so I keep my knowledge up to date to provide the best services.
I am also a volunteer Home Checker and Behaviour Assessor for various rescue centres through The Animal Team.
My dogs throughout my life have inspired me to begin my canine studies; I have always enjoyed spending time with them and other dog's and wanted to learn all I could to give them the best possible quality of life.
Aside from this, I enjoy several craft activities, such as diamond art, making dog enrichment toys, and snuffle mats. I love getting my nose stuck into a good book or chilling out in front of a film. When not working with dogs I enjoy riding my motorbike, watching motocross, or taking part in urban exploration.
