Hello and welcome to Weybridge Paws.
I'm Alex and I'm passionate about the beautiful and life-changing relationships we build with the animals in our lives. My approach is compassionate and reward-based.
I have many years of experience with a variety of breeds, including rescued and nervous animals. I've had several dogs, and now have 2 rescue cats. I also had a horse for 4 years so am comfortable around larger animals.
Completing a Diploma in Canine Behaviour with the British College of Canine Studies in 2015 gave me further understanding of working with dogs, but I really am very much a dog and cat person! :)
I previously worked full-time in healthcare as an Occupational Therapist and still maintain my registration through occasional work with young adults with learning disabilities, adults with neurological conditions, and teaching Mindfulness to various groups as a qualified teacher.
I like to think I bring a calm, compassionate and present approach to my work with animals too. I love the flexibility of my lifestyle - it gives me time in nature with animals, and space to pursue other interests.
I hope you enjoy looking around this site, and you're very welcome to contact me if you have any questions.
Warm wishes,
Alex.
