Mat Ward

Mat has been working hands-on with dogs and cats with behaviour problems since 1998, after graduating from Victoria University in New Zealand with a BSc in Zoology and Psychology. He has also trained a variety of species for film and TV, working on projects such as The Last Samurai, Xena, and many TV commercials for household brands such as Pedigree, Whiskas and Chef.

Whilst working full time with animals, Mat completed a Master of Veterinary Studies degree (Animal Behaviour) through Massey University in 2003. After finishing his post graduate study with first class honours, Mat practiced as a pet behaviour counsellor in Auckland, before moving to Scotland in 2007 and setting up his behaviour consultancy practice in Edinburgh. While most of his cases are seen in the areas surrounding Edinburgh, Mat sees cases from throughout Scotland.  Further information about Mat and his practice can be seen at www.petbehavioursorted.com
