Why Senior Dogs?

Canine behaviour is a complex field of study. Whilst a general knowledge base is an essential foundation for anyone working in canine behaviour, there’s simply too much to know and keep up with to do it all, and do it really well. Separation-related behaviours, puppyhood, cooperative care, adolescence: each require comprehensive knowledge and understanding.

Natalie believes the dog training and behaviour industry would benefit from more professionals focusing on particular areas of canine development and behaviour, bringing comprehensive knowledge, continued education and skill in their chosen focus area.

For Natalie, this is seniorhood: a life stage that is widely misunderstood and overlooked from a training and behaviour lens. Supporting our dogs as they age is both an honour and a challenge unique to this stage of life.
