Hayley
Hayley is currently completing her final year of study towards a Master’s degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour with the University of Edinburgh. She also holds a First-class degree in Zoology from the University of Bristol.
Hayley is mentored by Roz and working her way towards becoming a Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB). She is a provisional member of the APBC, which means she has demonstrated an appropriate level of knowledge for the role of a Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB) but now needs to evidence her practical experience to be assessed and qualify as a full CAB member.
Hayley is a certified Separation Anxiety Pro Behaviour Consultant, trained under separation anxiety expert, Julie Naismith. She is able to support you and your dog to overcome their separation anxiety using ethical and evidence-based training methods.
She strives to continually improve her skills and stay up to date with modern research via books, webinars, specialist courses and conferences.
Hayley lives in Eastville, so covers many of our North Bristol 1-2-1 training sessions and behaviour consultations. She can often be spotted up at Purdown with her silken windhound, Otto.
