At Animal Psychology Clinic, we specialise in understanding and improving the behaviour of dogs and cats using ethical, evidence-based methods. Based in Belfast and Comber, County Down, we offer a full range of behaviour consultations and training services across Northern Ireland in person and online.
Led by Kathryn McRobb BA (Hons), PgDip, MSc CAB, CDBC, a certified animal behaviourist, our clinic is here to support pet owners. With over 20 years of experience across the UK and Europe, Kathryn combines clinical knowledge with real-world practice to help pets and their families lead calmer, happier lives.
We work under vet referral alongside vet teams and veterinary physiotherapists to ensure any medical or pain issues that may be contributing to behavioural problems are identified and treated.
We offer professional behaviour support for dogs and cats struggling with behaviour issues such as reactivity and aggression, separation anxiety, hyperactivity and overarousal, anxieties, fears and traumas, noise sensitivities, house soiling and marking, compulsive behaviours, night waking, geriatric issues and more.
Our behaviour consultations include puppy consultations, adult dog behaviour consultations and cat behaviour consultations.
We also provide further support including reactive and fearful group sessions, 1-2-1 private sessions and real-world training walks. Consultations are available at our Comber training and behaviour clinic, in your home, or online.
We provide risk assessments for fostering, adoption, councils, and rescues and are a trusted provider to Ards and North Down Borough Council as well as Health and Social Care Northern Ireland.
We offer pre-arrival guidance for new puppies, kittens, and for newborn babies, helping families prepare for their new arrival.
Our dog and puppy training services start for puppies at 8 weeks and include puppy training and socialisation group classes, dog training classes and 1-2-1 private training sessions.
All services use kind, science-based methods and are led by a certified animal behaviourist.
