My professional experience includes behavioural work with a diverse range of species across domestic, agricultural, and zoological environments. Species I have worked with include horses, companion animals, small mammals, and farm species, alongside zoo-housed animals such as gorillas, red river hogs, Diana monkeys, and bongo antelope, with a focus on behaviour, welfare, and human-animal interactions.Support for behavioural concerns such as:
