Second Nature Behaviour

On veterinary referral, Second Nature Behaviour helps pets and their owners better understand each other, using reward- and evidence-based techniques. We provide expert advice and support with behaviour problems such as: aggression, phobias, overexcitability, compulsive disorders, age-related conditions and inappropriate elimination, destruction or vocalisations. We counsel for dogs, cats and parrots in and around the Midlands, primarily through home visits and behaviour clinics. Each individual and their family is provided with extensive ongoing tailored support specific to their issues and circumstances. We are here to listen and work with you to find a kind, realistic solution. Having attained exceptional academic qualifications and extensive practical experience, Second Nature Behaviour is fully insured and committed to the highest ethical standards set by the profession. Second Nature Behaviour is also passionate about developing the next generation of clinical animal behaviourists. So we mentor pet behaviour students working towards independent accreditation by the CCAB Certification. This allows them to eventually become fully qualified members of practitioner trade bodies, such as the Fellowship of Animal Behaviour Clinicians, thereby allowing registration with the overarching regulatory body, the Animal Behaviour and Training Council. Our Veterinary Behaviourists and Clinical Animal Behaviourists will travel to see cases approximately 1½ hours' drive from Birmingham. This includes the West Midlands, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and South Derbyshire.
