Leonie and Philip James make up the husband and wife team of Plymouth Pet Care who have been in business for over 15 years. Deciding to take a completely different career path and cut away from the corporate world was an easy decision due to our love and devotion for all animals.

From exotic snakes to the family pack of sheep dogs, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and two German Shepherds. Philip with 35yrs animal experience grew up on a farm caring and assisting with the upkeep of a variety of animals and has completed many intense courses in Dog behaviour psychology, ethology & Army operational handling, welfare and training. Philip served in the English Parachute regiment for seven years as a handler of protection and detection dogs before leaving for university. Philip was a trained counselor before becoming a dog behaviour psychologist specialist. Philip is now the only Dog Behaviourist all breeds in Plymouth using the Nothing in life is free R+ (CANRG) = Pack leader "THE DECISION MAKER" Known to some people as the Plymouth Dog Whisperer.

Leonie grew up with positive dog training and competing with various breeds of dog including a German Shepherd, Rottweiler and Tibetan Spaniel whilst managing a career in elderly care. Leonie is a Victoria Stilwell dog trainer fan and also has recently completed a course in K9 Hydrotherapy and Rehabilitation. Current pets/lodgers are an English Bull Terrier cross, japanese akita, and a rescue cat, Gizmo.

Thousands of pet owners work all day, and this requires leaving your dog whilst you work. Often these owners come home to a stressed out dog, and excessive destruction, either of the house, or the yard and neighbours who complain about barking and howling, due to separation anxiety. One of the top ten reasons given to animal rescue organisations from owners is 'he destroys my things when I'm not home.' This can be prevented with our help.

Exercise in a working week is easily said but not so easy to put into practice when the average person works on average up to 40 hours per week to put a meal on the table and keep a roof over their head. As much as we all love our pets as our children the idea of getting up an hour earlier or getting home and going straight out for a walk can be tiring in itself. But we love our pets so what can we do?

Step in Plymouth Pet Care. Have us collect your pet and we will give full walks or additional training to alleviate behaviour problems you don't want. We have full public liability insurance for peace of mind.

We understand from our own tribe that leaving your beloved family member is worrying and that is why we do not just accept any canine. We get to know all perspective doggy care additions with detailed care plans and health history. This not only ensures all dogs are safe whilst in our care but also gives you a chance to get to know us. More of our pets Click Here
