Rosee Riggs is a friend and colleague who lives in Austria. She kindly promotes my books through her work ‘Understanding the silent communication of dogs’ and ‘The tale of a BIG dog’, a book for dogs of all sizes. Here’s an introduction to Rosee:
From an early age, Rosee worried about how unhappy and helpless animals often are and how they can’t speak for themselves, and resolved to be a voice for them.
Rosee trained as an behaviour advisor with Sheila Harper, and also holds the ISCP Canine Behaviour Diploma from the International School for Canine Psychology and Behaviour.
Using her needs-based approach and respecting the emotional experience of the individual, she works mainly with anxious, traumatised dogs and those from a deprivation background.
In addition, Rosee trained with Julie Naismith as a Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Trainer and now supports people all over the world help their dog recover from separation related issues and feel safe alone at home. For this, she has a tried and tested online coaching programme.
Rosee says: “It is heart-warming to see the dogs gain confidence, and how thrilled people are when they can leave the house without fear or guilt. My clients say that learning their dog’s body language has enabled them both to have a better relationship in all areas of their lives.”
Ten years ago, Rosee adopted her greyhound, Stevie, an ex-racer from Ireland and in time empowered him to navigate his way in our human world. At first, he who could only stay exclusively with her, so she knows first-hand what a practical and emotional challenge it is to live with a dog with separation anxiety.
Her latest project is a facebook group offering comprehensive education and support for people whose dogs suffer with separation related issues: https://www.facebook.com/groups/510799200658996
