Welcome to Train & Treat 

Hey!

I'm Charis, a Dog Trainer and Canine Massage Therapist based in Devon. 

Why Both?
Simply put, pain and behaviour are closely linked and that link is something I am very interested in.

Everything your dog does, affects their body in some way. Pulling on the lead creates muscle tension, add in the "halti" or "no-pull harness" and you are well on your way to creating areas of muscle soreness, and can even impact your dog's long term musculoskeletal health. But on the flip side, your dog may be pulling on the lead because walking at a slower pace is physically painful or causing discomfort perhaps due to their conformation or areas of weakness. 

So, having knowledge of both areas of expertise allows me to look at your dog as a whole and devise a suitable  training plan or treatment protocol that considers your dog's physical and mental health!
