Dog training and behaviour services based in Ilminster, Somerset

Offering dog behaviour consultations on vet referral in Somerset, East Devon and West Dorset

Welcome to Dogberry Dog Training & Behaviour!

I am Merry, a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist. I use kind, evidence- and reward-based methods to help enhance your relationship with your dog.

I have completed an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour at the University of Lincoln, and am a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist through CCAB Ltd. I am also a certificated member of the Fellowship of Animal Behaviour Clinicians (FABC), and am registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist and Animal Training Instructor on the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC) practitioner lists. Because of this, many insurance companies will cover the cost of my services.

Other qualifications I hold include being a certified canine practitioner with the International School of Canine Psychology and Behaviour, and a full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (MAPDT 01399). I am fully insured with Pet Business Insurance.

If you would like help with your dog’s behaviour problem, you can read more about the process and download a vet referral form online on my ‘services’ page.
