Lindy Metheringham

I am originally from South Wales and moved to Liverpool to study applied biochemistry.

When I qualified I worked in the health service in Liverpool.

Then I moved to the North East with my husband, by which time I was already involved in charity work with animals and decided to redirect my career in this direction.

I qualified in Animal Behaviour two years after our move.

Though I still do voluntary work I now practice as a Pet Behaviour Consultant.

I travel as far as Newcastle to the north and York to the south. I visit clients in their homes and would say I have an eighty percent success rate.

I specialise in dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and ferrets.

Though being a Fellow of the Institute of Pet Behaviour Consultants I can redirect people with problem horses, parrots etc. to an appropriate consultant in that area. I have recently compiled a course on rabbit behaviour.

I am a volunteer for the Pet Bereavement Support Service which is linked with the Blue Cross. I am also a member of Pet Search which aims to reunite owners with lost pets, even if it is only giving advice or comfort there is someone there to talk to.

My qualifications include - BSc (Hons), MSc. CPSM, MSCAS, MIACE, FIPBC, DipAB. DipPBC.
