Helen Taylor

Helen Taylor is a full-time professional dog trainer and behaviourist based in North Dorset. She specialises in pet obedience and behavioural problems and provides class and private training to clients throughout Dorset, South Somerset, North Hampshire and West Wiltshire.

Educated at Southampton University, the country's foremost university for animal behaviour studies, Helen has an honours degree in Zoology and an Advanced Diploma in Canine Behavioural Management. She is a full member of The Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors, a member of The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (No 881) and the Institute for Animal Care Eduction. Animal-mad from an extremely early age, Helen nonetheless spent the first part of her career in Information Technology before realising that her true calling had to lie with her life-long passion - animals. She trained to become a Pet Behavioural Therapist and launched her business providing puppy and obedience classes, one-to-one training and behavioural consultations.

Helen uses clicker training and other positive, reward-based dog training methods to help dog-owners with training and behavioural problems using kind and effective ways to improve behaviour and solve problems. She is recommended by and takes referrals from all the major veterinary practices locally and many from further afield. Helen also gives talks to primary school children on safe behaviour round dogs and is available as an independent expert witness for dog-related court cases and legal proceedings. Helen lives in Sturminster Newton with her three year-old Dobermann, Tia.
