A bit about me…

I’m Gretta Ford - a business consultant for the dog training and animal behaviour industry. 

As an ABTC registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist and Dog Training Instructor, with multiple businesses under my belt, I’m on a mission to support the industry and those who work within it.

In addition to my extensive experience in the animal training/ behaviour industry, I’ve enjoyed roles in sales and marketing (including as Director of Marketing for a tech start-up) and various leadership positions (both in schools and the commercial world).

My days are fuelled by copious cups of tea, sneaky slices of cake and the foot-warming powers of a working cocker who never leaves my side. 

Ways that I can help
