# Emily Smith - Canine Plus

Emily Smith operates a specialist canine behaviour consultancy in Dover, serving clients throughout Kent and the South East. As a fully qualified veterinary surgeon with additional postgraduate qualifications in Clinical Animal Behaviour (BA VetMB PGDip MRCVS), she offers a distinctive dual expertise that sets her apart in the industry.

The business addresses a common problem: dogs exhibiting behavioural issues that prevent owners from enjoying normal activities—whether that's comfortable walks, entertaining guests, or simply building a harmonious relationship with their pet. Emily tackles these challenges through a holistic approach that considers both the dog's physical health and psychological wellbeing.

What distinguishes Canine Plus is the integration of veterinary knowledge with evidence-based, positive reinforcement training methods. Rather than relying on outdated or potentially harmful techniques, Emily's approach is ethical, scientifically supported, and tailored to individual dog needs. This combination allows her to identify whether behavioural problems stem from medical issues, anxiety, or environmental factors—something standard trainers cannot do.

Clients appreciate Emily's clear communication style, practical demonstrations, and supportive demeanour. Her five-star testimonials highlight her passionate commitment and ability to explain complex behavioural concepts accessibly. By combining professional veterinary credentials with genuine compassion for both dogs and their anxious owners, Emily provides reassurance that the guidance offered is trustworthy and effective.
