WELCOME TO THINKINGPETS

The ThinkingPets Behaviour Practice was started in June 2006 by Karin Landsberg and Niki Elliott. The main focal points of the practice are to train instructors nationwide to provide puppy socialization, puppy II (adolescent) classes, adult and remedial training classes using motivational training methods.

We also aim to establish a network of highly educated professionals that can assist pet owners with their pets in a non-invasive, motivational manner encompassing modern behaviour and training techniques. Our services include offering Behaviour and TTouch consultations for dogs and cats, puppy and kitten socialization schools, individual obedience training (using clicker and other forms of motivational training only), group obedience training, lecturing, public talks, hosting workshops and remedial socialization for aggressive dogs.

ThinkingPets offers comprehensive training courses for people wishing to become involved in the field of Animal Behaviour. Each ThinkingPets instructor is required to attend a rigorous training course, as well as ongoing educational workshops throughout the year to ensure the highest level of training and experience in our classes, as well as guaranteeing that everyone who hosts a ThinkingPets class is up to date with the latest TTouch, training and behavioural techniques used internationally.

We strive to offer owners peace of mind that they will receive the very best when dealing with anyone working under the ThinkingPets Behaviour Practice banner.

ThinkingPets is one of only two behaviour institutes worldwide licensed to offer the prestigious COAPE courses in Animal Behaviour, and we are proud to announce that the COAPE CO4 course has just been accepted as a CPD Accredited course worth 30 points with the South African Veterinary Council (SAVC).
