On the screen, Jo-Rosie has been the face of shows like Channel 4’s Rescue Dog to Superdog, Sky One’s Cats vs Dogs, and Channel 5’s Underdog to Superdog. She’s worked alongside familiar faces like Alan Titchmarsh and Alexander Armstrong, and she’s a regular on This Morning and Good Morning Britain.

She worked alongside presenter Alexandre Armstrong training pairs of unique animals (chickens, alpacas, horses and goats) for ITV’s series Teach my Pet to do That.

She presented the Channel 4 show The Baby Trainer where she related what she knew about dogs and animals to toddlers – solving the challenges faced by parents everywhere from tweenager tantrums to sleep deprivation.

As a chosen expert on BBC News she took part in day time TV discussions on popular shows with, for example, Vanessa Feltz and Jeremy Vine.

Author and international speaker

Alongside her work as a world renowned animal trainer, Jo is a three-times published author – Teach Your Dog, Teach Your Cat and The Real Dog Yoga.

As an international speaker she has spoken all over the UK and internationally in Europe, America and New Zealand at conferences. She’s hosted events on topics such as Resource Guarding, Predation, Separation Anxiety and Dog Bites.

She grew up surrounded by dogs, sheep and horses in the sunny hills of Sussex. After studying Applied Psychology she went on to obtain a postgraduate qualification in Animal Behaviour. She is passionate about evidence-based training techniques and showing people how similar animals are to us. Training and working in the field of animal science (albeit with a dog, a hippo or a human) is where her mechanical skills shine and her understanding of learning theory and cognition comes into its own.

The Trainers’ Trainer

When she’s not on TV, Jo-Rosie is running one of the fastest-growing online academies for dog trainers, earning a reputation as the “trainer’s trainer”. She’s known for making the science of dog behavior engaging and practical. She’s competed in protection sports, owned and trained her own Section 1 dog, and rehabilitated over 150 dogs. She’s worked with top rescues like Battersea, Blue Cross, and Dogs Trust, and she’s got a pack at home that includes two Belgian Shepherds, a Miniature Schnauzer, and a Boxer.
