Nick has worked full-time with dogs for the past nine years. He currently works within a dog rescue organisation. Nick feels that his time spent working with and rehabilitating rescue dogs has been a privilege. He particularly enjoys working with various different sizes, shapes and breeds of dogs with varying behavioural issues.
Nick has taken the oportunity to work with several different behaviour specialists and also with a specialist in canine communication and aggression. He continues to work closely with a variety of specialists.
Nick currently owns one dog himself (shown in the picture) named Sandy. She is a rescue dog who has been through two different rescue organisations where she was going to be euthanased due to the level of her aggression towards people.
Nick took up the challenge of reforming Sandy and after a great deal of hard work, she is now a reformed character and has been known to enjoy a cuddle with children and babies of all ages. After much work and a lot of help from some teaching dogs, that Nick has been used for rehabilitation many times before and Sandy is now also quite a sociable dog with other dogs and often initiates play.
Nick has found during the past few years working with dogs, that the best source of information on how to help dogs and what they mean actually comes from the dogs themselves. He feels that working in dog rescue has been a great advantage via meeting a great variety of different dogs with hugely different personalities and he is always amazed at how much with the right help they can change.
Nick now works in practice as a behaviour practitioner in the hope that he can help owners to understand what there dogs are trying to tell them and why they do what they do.
