Morag Sutherland Other

I see myself as firstly an “interpreter” for the pet I am asked to help and a teacher for the humans involved. I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse, (important as often there are health issues involved in animals’ behaviour). I am thrilled to have been accepted as a member of the Association of INTO Dogs in May 2019 as the ethos of this organisation so closely matches my own. In 2017, I was asked to be an Authorised Trainer for the RDUK Facebook group, supporting guardians of reactive dogs and I’m lucky to work with some fantastic colleagues there. I am very proud to be an Approved Volunteer Trainer for DogAID and to be a trustee of the Bedlington Terrier Rescue Foundation . The Association of INTO Dogs members are obliged to undertake regular continuing professional development in order to remain a member, which means we are working with good knowledge of current research, practical skills and equipment. That said, my main teachers are my own three dogs ! I have a special interest in nutrition for dogs and horses, particularly in how it affects their behaviour.
