Ruth Owen has been working with rescue dogs for over twenty years via fostering, rehabilitating and rehoming. Although she has extensive experience of working with all breeds of dogs Ruth specialises in bull breeds and shares her home with a number of these dogs.

Ruth has spent many years helping dogs with aggression problems and has successfully worked with many poorly socialised dogs to achieve rehabilitation and rehoming, she has her own large pack of dogs that live with her and play a large part in the process of integrating under socialised and/or aggressive dogs.

Ruth runs her behaviour practice from her centre in The South Hams where she sees clients for all manner of behaviour rehabilitation and one to one training. She also keeps sheep and is able to work with dogs that have livestock chasing issues.

A permanent full time training centre with indoor facilities is in the planning stages which will offer classes for dogs of all ages and levels of ability. The centre should be fully functional by the end of 2010 and offer a range of learning activities, training and socialising facilities.

Ruth is a member of the Guild of Dog Trainers, and currently studying with Cambridge Institute of Dog behaviour & Training for a BA in Canine Behaviour.
