With advanced qualifications and clinical accreditation, I offer science-based, empathetic behaviour support for both dogs
and horses. Based in Kildare, Ireland, I help you and your animals build a more confident, harmonious life together.

Compassionate, Science-Backed Behaviour Solutions

Hi, I’m Barbara J. Hardman, a Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB) accredited by the APBC and ABTC. With an MSc in
Equine Science and a BSc (Hons) in Zoology, I specialise in behavioural science, animal learning, and ethical training
for both canines and equines. I provide bespoke, fear-free behaviour assessments and tailored training plans that
focus on the well-being of both the animal and the owner.

Whether you’re facing canine anxiety or equine confidence issues, I deliver expert guidance rooted in compassion
and scientific evidence. Consultations are offered in-home for convenience and maximum effectiveness, and support
is ongoing through a dedicated online training platform.
