Our Telford Hub for Clinical Animal Behaviour

Would recommend the Second Nature team until I’m blue in the face! We’ve been working hard to build confidence in my reactive whippet X Italian Greyhound. We’re starting to see some really amazing progress with the clear and sensible suggestions made by Keely and I can’t thank her and the rest of the team enough. Their dedication to supporting owners and upholding the greatest standards of animal welfare shine through in everything they do.

Second Nature Behaviour provides an excellent service for a very reasonable price. As a vet, I have referred many of my patients to Zoe for behavioural and psychological issues and have worked alongside her in managing patients with medical intervention. Zoe has worked absolute miracles on cats and dogs and given pet owners chance to build a more understanding and deeper relationship with their pets. I have loved seeing clients back with smiles on their faces after implementing Zoe’s instructions in order to manage the issues they have had for a long time. Behavioural issues are very complex and with a communication barrier from man to animal creating an even more difficult task, a highly qualified behaviourist with lots of experience is absolutely invaluable and for me, Zoe is just that. An invaluable asset to my work as a vet to ensure you can get the best out of your relationship with your family pets. I will always recommend 100%. Thank you for everything, I look forward to continuing to work with you.

We were referred to Zoe by our vets as one of our greyhounds was proving difficult to settle and was reactive to other dogs, seemed to have some sort of sleep terrors and was generally proving difficult to adjust into our household. Zoe’s clear methods and easy style of communication quickly put us at ease, and helped us to understand both what the dogs were saying to us and what message we were subconsciously sending to them. With a few simple techniques, easily and clearly explained, and lots of consistent practice and hard work, we now have a significantly more relaxed household and two much calmer, happier dogs. We still have occasional setbacks, but because of what we learned over 6 short months with Zoe we can very quickly reset and get back on track. We recently moved to North Devon and thanks to the improvements in behaviour, we have had the pleasure of watching the dogs running free together along the beach, something that would have been impossible previously. I would recommend Zoe without hesitation to anyone looking to better understand their dog and improve their relationship with their furry friend.

If you’re looking for someone to sort out your pet’s behaviour, that you know it’s weird and don’t have a clue why he’s acting like he is, then contact Zoe. Zoe has been amazing and gone the extra mile with us. From diagnosing our newfie with anxiety to putting in practice an action plan but above all, always telling us the truth, even if it means saying to us that Nala’s behaviour will take a long time to fix. Zoe has always been there to listen to my worries and to be updated on Nala’s progress. I wish I had contacted Zoe a long time ago. There’s still a long way ahead but every penny has been worthy and every effort put into changing Nala’s behaviour (and I mean, a lot of effort – unfortunately sometimes having a dog is not only letting him out for toilet and feeding twice a day) has been made knowing we have Zoe to direct us (or change course) on the best approach. I would recommend her to every pet owner!

We went into our first visit with Zoe feeling anxious and afraid that we may end up having to find a new home for one of our beloved frenchies if they didn’t stop their aggressive behaviour towards each other. Fast forward 6 months and our dogs are happier (and better behaved!) than ever and we are finally back to a place where we can relax around our dogs without fear of a fight breaking out due to jealousy. Zoe is understanding and always happy to answer any questions you may have. We are just so grateful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!!!
