4 Legs Good represents years of experience in pet behaviour therapy, dog training, vet nursing and cooperative care.
Claire Kirby has been working locally in Shrewsbury and the West Midlands as a qualified behaviourist (abtcouncil) and dog trainer since 2007. Bloss Stanyon Jones (link) is a registered veterinary nurse, specialising in ‘cooperative care’. Cooperative care helps pets accept veterinary therapy without fear. Bloss is also studying for a BSc in animal behaviour and welfare at Harper Adams.
Our training classes draw on all our expertise and experience in the form of ‘life skills’. ‘Life skills’ classes aim to help dogs and their owners adapt to an ever more complex world – a double win! We use scientific, modern and kind methods to get the best results – here in central Shrewsbury.
In addition to seeing dogs and their people, Claire writes useful blog articles for dog and cat lovers to help them understand and live more harmoniously with their pets. Claire also write the ‘Green Dog Blog’, to help dog and cat lovers keep their pets more in harmony with the planet. Check the 4 Legs Good environmental and ethical statement here.
Claire has also developed video and written resources and made them available to other trainers and behaviourists, through this site as the ‘4 legs good professional resources’. These are probably most useful for up and coming professionals who have not yet developed resources of their own. There are videos of live consults for trainees to observe and also a dog training manual and report writing system for other behaviourists to use with their own clients. The 83 page dog training manual also works as a stand alone resource for both dog owners and dog trainers (for use with their clients).
