Heather Gilbert - Qualified Dog Behaviourist & Founder of Calluna Canines

Heather Gilbert is a qualified dog behaviourist and the founder of Calluna Canines, specialising in practical, reward-based training and behaviour support with a particular interest in French Bulldogs.

Her work focuses on helping owners understand what's driving their dog's behaviour rather than simply trying to suppress the behaviour they can see.

Heather has extensive hands-on experience supporting dogs with reactivity, anxiety, overarousal, frustration and other behavioural challenges, including through her work within French Bulldog rescue.

Her approach combines behavioural science with realistic, practical strategies designed for everyday dog owners - because a training plan is only useful if people and dogs can actually live with it.

Through Calluna Canines, Heather creates accessible online courses, training programmes and resources designed to help owners understand their dogs, make confident training decisions and build lasting behavioural change without relying on fear, force or punishment.
