In this first episode of The Open Hour I was chatting live to Andrew Hale about mental health and mental well-being in the various animal related industries.
Andrew has a degree in Psychology, and before working with dogs was a human therapist, working initially in the N.H.S and then in private practice. He is a Certified Animal Behaviourist and a trustee at the Association of INTODOGS. He is the current co-ordinator for the newly formed UK Dog Behaviour and Training Charter and is the behaviour consultant for Pet Remedy. Andrew is passionate about the emotional well being of animals and the people that care for them.
