Many people talk to animals, but few people listen to them……
As a veterinary behaviourist, Cynthia combines an understanding of the natural behaviour patterns of a variety of companion animals, as well as how animals learn and can apply these principles to diagnosing how problem behaviour develops and how it can be modified. Only by understanding what drives or motivates a particular behaviour can it be successfully modified and this is why many behaviour problems cannot be resolved by training alone.
Cynthia also understands the link between human behaviour and how this can influence undesirable animal behaviour. She will work with pet owners to change this and to repair the bond which is so often broken when there are on-going or serious behavioural issues.
