Accessibility, Inclusion & Belonging

​

At Mutts and Mischief Holistic Education and Behaviour Services, I believe that education, support, and opportunities to learn about our dogs should be accessible to everyone.

​

I am committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment for people from all backgrounds, cultures, communities, identities, beliefs, and lived experiences. Diversity strengthens our profession and enriches the relationships we build with both people and dogs.

​

I welcome and support:

• Individuals with diasbilities, including wheelchair users and those with visible and non-visible disabilities

• Neurodivergent individuals, including autistic people, people with ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Tourette syndrome, OCD, and other neurotypes

• People of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, and cultural backgrounds

• LGBTQIA+ individuals and families

• Assistance dog handlers and those training or considering assistance dogs

• Individuals from all faiths, religions, spiritual beliefs, and those with no religious affiliation

• People of all ages and life stages

• Rescue guardians, first-time dog guardians, experienced professionals, and everyone in between

• Individuals managing physical health conditions, chronic pain, mental health challenges, or complex life circumstances

What Accessibility Means Here

​

Accessibility is not an afterthought—it is something I actively strive to consider in the way I work and communicate.

​

• Where possible, I aim to provide:

• Online services that can be accessed from home

• Flexible communication options, including email and Zoom

• Written summaries and resources following consultations

• Clear, jargon-free explanations

• Visual learning materials where appropriate

• A supportive, judgement-free learning environment

• Respect for individual communication preferences and access needs

• ​

If there is anything that would make my services more accessible for you, please let me know. While I may not always be able to accommodate every request, I will always do my best to explore reasonable adjustments and alternative solutions.

​

My Commitment

​

Mutts and Mischief is built on compassion, respect, and collaboration.

​

Discrimination, harassment, bullying, hate speech, or exclusionary behaviour towards any person or group will not be tolerated.

​

Whether you are seeking support for a puppy, a rescue dog, a reactive dog, an assistance dog, or simply looking to learn more about canine behaviour, you are welcome here.

​

Because dog education should be for everyone.
