Karen Wild

My biggest passions in life are training people to teach their dogs and cats, helping family dogs and cats with problems, and writing books and articles about pet behaviour. I am a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB) and ABTC-Registered Animal Training Instructor (ATI) and Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB).

My books are for owners of family dogs; 'Being a Dog', 'What your Dog Wants' and 21 Days to the Perfect Dog (Hamlyn). Purrfect Guide to Cats and Pawfect Guide to Dogs (Amber) written with Vet Emma Milne. I was resident dog trainer and behaviourist contributor for Dogs Today, PetFocus, Dogs Monthly, Pet Focus, Pet Product Marketing and PETS International, wrote for Dr Ian Dunbar's Dog Star Daily blog and my own WildPaw podcast.

I’m a full member of Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) and Fellowship of Animal Behaviour Clinicians (FABC). I use positive reinforcement training methods (reward-based).

Radio and TV: Channel 5's 'Royal Pets' documentary, Sky News with Eamonn Holmes, BBC Radio contributor and worked on a project with respected actor Simon Callow on a Dog 'Bedtime' Story and then David Tennant on a calming dog and cat video project both aimed to relax and calm our dogs in times of stress.

I have four dogs, one cat, and children too, all part of our big family.
