Vision Mission Values

Vision

Snout & About aims to ensure every county in Ireland has access to a certified and regulated Behaviour Professional and Trainer so dog guardians, clinical teams and welfare organisations can rely on consultancy excellence from accredited, ethical professionals. We also strive to elevate the wider dog industry by promoting collaboration, knowledge-sharing and professional opportunity across all disciplines involved in canine care.

Mission

We are a dog-specialist consultancy committed to supporting guardians and professionals through ethical, evidence-based and welfare-centred practice. Our mission is to cultivate a nationwide network of consultancy excellence, strengthen collaboration between clinical and behavioural fields, and ensure regulated, certified and trustworthy behaviour services are available to every community in Ireland.

Values

Snout & About is a humanitarian organisation driven by empathy, compassion and respect for both our clients and our colleagues. We believe in dignity, fairness and support for everyone we work with. We prioritise empowerment, relationship-building and long-term support systems for guardians, industry peers and those working across the animal-health sector.

We are proudly and unapologetically committed to equality. We welcome, support and advocate for all people regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, identity, socioeconomic background, disability, neurodivergence or belief. We take an active stance against racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia and all forms of discrimination.

In every aspect of our work, from client care to professional collaboration, we promote inclusion, accessibility, psychological safety and compassion. These values guide our decision-making, our partnerships and the standards of practice we uphold throughout Snout & About.
