Dr Gill Aitken - Animal Behaviourist

Animal Manners

Welcome to Animal-Manners - Gill Aitken's animal behaviour website!

I hope you enjoy my website! You’ll find details  of my training and behaviour services as well as up-to-date information on topics relating to dog behaviour. For example, you can find out which books to read, where to get good training equipment and how to find out about feeding your dog naturally.

If your dog is displaying behaviour you’re keen to change, please do get in touch with me to have a chat. I will help you decide which of my services best suits you and your dog. Don't despair – there is always a way forward if you are willing. And remember, the longer you leave it the more time your dog has to practise the undesirable behaviour – and as we all know, practise makes perfect!

My training methods are based on scientific knowledge of the way dogs learn. All my methods are gentle and focus on reward (never punishment). I don’t agree with the (now-outdated) notion that when dogs behave badly they are trying to dominate us! Read here about canine dominance.

See the work I do with local rescue Animal Care.

I also do pet portraits.
