Hi, I’m Katie O'Reilly, a certified clinical animal behaviourist passionate about improving the lives of pets and their people. My goal is to solve behavioural challenges with compassion and science-based methods, building stronger bonds between animals and their families.

I hold a bachelor of science with honours degree in animal management, pet behaviour, and welfare, with a special focus on canine behaviour from ARU Writtle. I am a registered provisional clinical animal behaviourist with the Association of pet behaviour counsellors. I am a full member of the APTD and ABTC. I am fully insured with Cliverton insurance company. I am able to accept behaviour referrals from veterinarians and insurance companies.

I have been working with dogs and their families for 14 years running puppy training, Kennel club group classes, Agility lessons and Behaviour training. I have received awards for my work from the Kennel club at Crufts for reserve dog training school of the year in 2020 and a spotlight award nominated by multiple lectureres at ARU Writtle for work in the pet behaviour clinic at ARU Writtle university.

My approach is rooted in the latest scientific research and focuses on positive reinforcement. In my behaviour consultations I work to understand the underlying causes of behaviours, creating tailored solutions that respect the needs of both pets and their families. In our group class for pet dogs and puppies i aim to set the dogs and families up for future success using up to date training methods to teach pet skills and lasting partnerships.

I have always been fascinated by animals. My journey began as a child when i got my first puppy Harvey the golden retriever and would attend weekly training classes with my father. The joy in teaching and training him and the many happy memories of our beloved family pets inspired me to help other's create a happier life with their pets.

When I'm not working with clients, i love horse riding with my daughter and her pony Barnaby, competing in agility and showing with my dogs Eider and Hudson.

I'd love to help you and your pet. Feel free to reach our for a consultation or explore the resources on my website.
