Natalie Light Dog Training & Behaviour

Specialties

I am a Hampshire-​based, force-​free, reward based dog training & behaviour professional.

If you need help with your dog, or just want to learn more about dog training and behaviour you’re in the right place.

I work with Scallywags School for Dogs conducting puppy classes, puppy socialisation, puppy home training, recall classes, 1:1 training and beginners agility. I also conduct behaviour consultations for more complex behaviour problems which involve visiting the clients home and discussing the issue in depth before producing a practical behaviour modification plan.

I am a full member of the Pet Professional Guild and provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors which means having gained the relevant academic qualifications, I am gaining the practical experience necessary for full membership.

Natalie L.

Business Owner

I have been running practical dog training classes with Scallywags School for Dogs since January 2010 and started conducting my own behaviour consultations since joining the APBC in October 2012. I cover most of Hampshire for training and behaviour consultations but tend to focus on a 20 mile radius of Southampton.

I am a provisional member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC), which means having gained the relevant academic qualifications I am gaining the practical experience necessary for full membership. I am also a full member of the Pet Professional Guild (PPG). I have a degree in Zoology BSc and am currenly studying for my PGDip in Applied Animal Behaviour & Welfare at Newcastle University.

I hold full public liability and professional indemnity insurance and have a full DBS check. I am also an assistance dog trainer with DogAID.

I use only force-​free, reward-​based methods of training in line with the codes of conduct of the PPG and APBC.
