Published on: 6th May, 2025

Ness Jones is a Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Behavior Consultant (​Cert. SAPBC) and runs an international program successfully working remotely with clients around the world.

Ness has a number of other qualifications, but it is the separation anxiety certification that means the most to her, knowing there are many dog trainers attempting to resolve this issue without the proper information or the latest methods and techniques. She understands the importance of furthering education to achieve optimal results.

Ness is also a Canine Behaviour Practitioner and has a Diploma in Canine Behaviour from the renowned International School for Canine Psychology & Behaviour (ISCP.Dip.Canine.Prac), is Certified in Applied Canine Ethology (CACE) from the Ethology Institute and a CPDT (Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Ethology Institute).

She is a Canine Myofunctional Therapist (dog masseur), Small Animal Nutritionist and holds a Diploma as a Small Animal Naturopath (Dip.NatSA). She believes wholeheartedly in providing a raw food diet to dogs and cats.

Ness is also the co-host of podcast Tails From The Dog House: Separation Anxiety Explained (available on all good listening apps and on YouTube)
