About Tom
I’ve been in rescue since I was 15. It started with fundraising, home checks and transport, and turned into a BSc in Bio-veterinary Science and an MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour at Lincoln.
I’ve spent my career at the UK’s largest dog welfare organisation, first as a Training and Behaviour Advisor with around 60 dogs in my care at any one time, then as a Senior Training and Behaviour Advisor supporting teams across the South West. These days my work there is staff development, upskilling people in behaviour so the dogs get better decisions from whoever’s on shift.
That’s what I do here too. I started Simplifying Shelter Behaviour to empower shelters and rescues to improve the behavioural health of the animals in their care, through individual animal support, upskilling teams, and building the systems that hold it all together.
