text: Welcome | Animal Behaviour Clinics
  Welcome to the website of Debbie Busby, clinical animal behaviourist, international speaker and author. I offer advice and consultation on all aspects of equine and canine behaviour and training. I am a qualified, certified and registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist with a background in solution-focused counselling, uniquely placed to understand how to change animals' behaviour for the better, and how to help you succeed with the methods I recommend. My aim is to help you and your horse or dog cope with 21st century living and to enable you to make long-term, positive behavioural changes in your animals.
  I have a Masters degree with Distinction in Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare, and a BSc (First Class honours) in Psychology. I was only the third equine behaviourist to be registered at Clinical level by the Animal Behaviour and Training Council and I am also one of a handful of practitioners in the UK to be certified by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. I am frequently called upon to give expert advice to PhD and vet students who are conducting equine research, and I provide expert witness opinion and reports in legal disputes. I offer training and riding coaching, and I provide supervision and mentoring for those who are starting their behaviour consultancy careers.
  I also deliver national and international lectures, seminars and workshops on all aspects of equine behaviour and human behaviour change. I write for Horse & Rider magazine as one of their Ask the Experts and I have written and co-authored research and analysis articles on equine behaviour and human attitudes. I have conducted original qualitative and quantitative research into equestrian sector attitudes and experiences and I have co-authored two books on equine behaviour and the natural history of the horse; 'Equine Behaviour in Mind, Applying Behavioural Science to the Way We Keep, Work and Care for Horses', 5M Publishing, will be released in October 2018 and a further publication is planned for 2019.
  Based in Cheshire, I cover the North of England, North Wales and Midlands, and outside these areas I can refer clients to a suitably qualified behaviourist in their area or I can consult via Skype or phone. Internationally I consult in Europe, Turkey and Jordan. Whatever your animal behaviour problem, if there's anything your horse or dog is doing that you're not happy with, I can help you, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
