WHO ARE WE?

I'd like to tell you a bit about us.  I am Debbie Connolly, the Founder of SafePets UK and Canine Lifeline UK.  Although premises problems has forced the closure of the rescue, I am still active and helping other trusted rescues.  In my career I have run boarding and rescue kennels and also worked in stray dog pounds for over 20 years.

I believe strongly that body language and improved communication skills are the way to improve your dog's behaviour.  That means training you more than the dog.  Understanding the rules and the messages your dog sends mean you can get your own messages across.

I want to tell you that we do not use harsh methods to train dogs.  My own dogs live indoors, sleep in my bedroom and are loved and kissed every day of their lives.  The nicest compliment an owner has paid me was to say they got their dog back "the same but better".  I hope you understand the compliment!  

I am an Associate Member of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers. 

I ran my own small scale dog rescue and am the Behaviour Consultant for Bengal Cat Rescue, also for Zep the Dep Rottweiler Rescue

I currently own 4 dogs, 3 GSD's and a collie cross and 7 cats, three of which are Bengals.  Personal commitments meant I moved to Wales in Jun '07 and expect to be here for a few months at least.

I recently appeared in a BBC3 reality series, "Dog Borstal" where a centre was set up for owners of bad dogs who had tried unsuccessful routes before to come for one to one help and I do radio and TV interviews as dog issues hit the press.  Soon my articles will start appearing in a big glossy dog mag and I really hope do do more writing.
