Vet Referrals
At Wild K9s, I work closely with veterinary practices to provide professional, evidence-based behavioural support for dogs across the New Forest and beyond. I welcome referrals from veterinary professionals and am happy to collaborate on cases where behavioural issues may be impacting welfare, family life, or veterinary treatment.
As a Certified Canine Behaviourist and Trainer with a background in zoology, I am proud to offer kind, force-free and scientifically grounded interventions that complement veterinary care. I am also an assessor for the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC) and a full member of the International Canine Behaviourists (ICB), the UK Dog Behaviour and Training Charter and the Pet Professional Guild (PPG).
If you are a vet, nurse, or practice manager looking to refer a client, you can either do this via:

What Happens Next?
Once I receive your referral, I will contact the client directly to discuss how I can help. I will also keep you updated with a summary of the behavioural findings and recommendations, unless otherwise requested. I welcome collaboration and always consider medical, pain-related, and neurodevelopmental factors in my behavioural assessments.
For urgent or complex cases, feel free to call or email in advance to discuss suitability before referring.
