Professional Mentorship

Catherine Griffin offers mentorship as part of our wider mission to both encourage professional standards and ensure dog professionals across Ireland never feel isolated in their work.

Many members of our current expert panel were discovered and supported through 1-to-1 mentorship, highlighting just how crucial guidance, community and connection are within this industry.

Mentorship plays an essential role in helping both new and experienced professionals navigate the complex world of canine behaviour, training and welfare. Whether you’re exploring how to get into the industry, seeking clarity around educational pathways, or looking for operational guidance as you grow your services, mentorship provides structured support tailored to your needs.

For those already working in behaviour or training, mentorship can be invaluable when tackling challenging cases, refining assessment skills, building clinical reasoning or developing behaviour plans. It provides a safe, supportive and confidential space to talk openly about the pressures, dilemmas and uncertainties that come with professional practice.

This is a unique educational and career-development opportunity intended to help you grow your professional confidence, develop your skillset, improve your case management and feel supported every step of the way. Whether it’s assistance creating behaviour programmes, managing your workload, or navigating complex cases, mentorship ensures you are never alone on your journey.

Your first session is €80 for 1hour and includes a structured starter programme to help you stay on track and make meaningful progress.
