Hello, I’m Sarah
At the start of my career, I was lucky enough to be mentored by, and then work alongside, John Fisher – the original ‘dog whisperer’.
As a result of John’s experience, knowledge and support, I succeeded in building a career that had my heart and soul at its very centre. Nearly 30 years on, and I am still just as passionate about helping dogs, cats and their owners, using kind, force-free methods, and getting great results using the science and art of positive reinforcement.
I help others to fulfill their potential as trainers and behaviourists, through education, coaching, mentoring and occasional hand-holding, (because sometimes the very best trainers seem to lack confidence in themselves).
The reality is that to be a brilliant behaviourist, you need to be an exceptional dog trainer. And to be a superlative trainer, you need to understand behaviour inside and out.
I’m here to help and guide you with both.
Sarah Whitehead, BA(Hons), MSc is a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist, with a passion for canine body language and facial expression.
Sarah is a regular contributor to the specialist press, and is frequently quoted in the nationals.
TV appearances include C4 ‘Dogs – their Secret Lives’, ‘Pet Rescue’, two series of BBC ‘Barking Mad’, ITV ‘Give a Pet A Home’, C4 ‘Open House’ with Gloria Huniford, and Richard and Judy- to name a few!
Sarah is a favourite guest on numerous radio programmes including BBC Radio 4, (Woman’s Hour with Jenny Murray) and BBC Radio 2 (Chris Evans’ Breakfast Show).
As well as animal behaviour, Sarah has a special interest in human psychology. She is an NLP Master Practitioner (a branch of cognitive psychology) and has a passion for successful strategies in adult learning.
As a result of this, Sarah is also one of the very few animal behaviour specialists who offer ‘pet mediation’ consultations, helping to resolve conflict between owners who are separating to do what’s best for their pet.
