# GA Animal Behaviour
GA Animal Behaviour, based in Bathgate, West Lothian, is a specialist practice offering dog and horse behaviour consultation and training across Central Scotland. Led by Gillian Amos, a Clinical Animal Behaviourist with an MSc from the University of Edinburgh, the business addresses behavioural challenges that cause stress and disruption to pet owners' lives.
The practice serves dog and horse owners struggling with issues ranging from separation anxiety and reactivity on walks to unwanted equine behaviours. Gillian works with clients to develop tailored, step-by-step programmes using evidence-based, kind training methods rather than outdated or aversive techniques.
What distinguishes GA Animal Behaviour is Gillian's commitment to three core principles: ethical practice rooted in compassion, genuine support that builds client confidence through excellent communication and resources, and a focused, achievable approach underpinned by current behavioural science. Her credentials are substantial—she holds membership with the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors and pre-certification with the Fellowship of Animal Behaviour Clinicians, ensuring clients work with a qualified professional in an otherwise unregulated industry.
Rather than simply correcting problematic behaviours, Gillian empowers owners with knowledge and skills to foster harmonious relationships with their pets. Client testimonials highlight transformative results, with owners regaining confidence and enjoyment in their animals' company. The business also provides educational content through its blog, covering topics like puppy socialisation and positive reinforcement training.
