Hi, I'm Susan Finlay and I am privileged to have made canine care my full time career.

I share my home with Jazz: a rescue whose tough first year of life impacted her both physically and mentally; so I know first hand what it is to work with a dog who has both behavioural and physical issues to work through. She is now a happy, and healthy girl living her best life

I am a qualified Canine Behaviourist, holding both Level 5 Canine Behaviour Practitioner Diploma and Level 6 Advanced Canine Behaviour and Management Diploma.

I am a qualified Clinical Canine Massage Therapist, having completed the two year Canine Massage Practitioner course with The Canine Massage Therapy Centre, and qualifying in the Level 5 Clinical Canine Massage Therapy Diploma, the benchmark in canine manual therapy education. I am a member of the Canine Massage Guild.

I am also a qualified Canine Hydrotherapist.

Canine Care and wellbeing is my passion. I have over 15 years experience working in the animal care sector. Working in rescue as the Operational Manager for Assisi Animal Sanctuary fuelled my work in Canine Behaviour. Understanding the effect that pain has on behaviour lead me to studying Clinical Canine Massage; enabling me to help dogs in a more holistic way.
