“Dog Whisperer Poole & Bournemouth is led by Marcelle King. She has completed the BCCS UK Dog Law Certificate (Distinction) and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Dog Behaviour from the British College of Canine Studies, also with distinction. Additionally, she holds certificates in Canine Law and Canine First Aid (both with distinction). Marcelle is celebrating 50 years of working with dogs as a canine behaviourist. At Dog Whisperer Poole & Bournemouth, she sees between 200 and 300 dogs a year and addresses a wide range of behavioural issues. She has a high success rate, though success depends on owners following the rules, providing dogs with plenty of mental and physical activities, and having fun. She visits your home and stays as long as it takes to address and resolve every problem your dog(s) may have. The dog training consultation lasts a minimum of 3 hours, but it usually takes closer to 5. For walking, Marcelle uses a combination of 4 very light pieces of equipment. It works like magic and weighs less than your average dog lead. Appointments are available at times to suit, including evenings and weekends.”
