Bonnie Brincat
BSc (Hons), MSc
I'm a pet behaviourist, scientist, & a believer in evidence based, effective, and fundamentally kind training methods. Pet behaviour problems are my bread and butter; I've studied & worked with them since 2013. Now I want to share my expertise with you. Finding a behaviour professional can be confusing (click here to learn about accreditation), but our advice shouldn't be. Pets Explained designs behaviour plans with clarity at the forefront of the practice, making it simple no matter your pet experience. This support coupled with my specialist knowledge are the building blocks to a strong, successful pet-owner relationship.
Why wait? Let's hit the ground running.
