Tim’s Background
Tim has always had a passion for working with dogs. This inspired him to blend many of his skills honed over 20 years working with people and creatively integrate them into his work with dogs, and develop Your Older Dog & Arthritis.
Tim’s key differential is being able to utilise much of his experience and training in working with people to help enhance his approach to working with dogs. He has seen first-hand many times how this has been a significant advantage from a diagnostic and treatment perspective.
His rehabilitation and corrective exercise training have been key in developing and teaching proven effective techniques and strategies to his clients, to help them get the best outcome possible for their dogs.
Tim has made a career out of helping older dogs and dogs with Arthritis feel new again. A key part of this is training owners on how to keep their four-legged friends active, happy and as pain-free as possible in their advancing years.
He does this by innovatively using proven therapeutic methods used successfully on humans and adapting them for dogs.
