# Hare to Hound Behaviour and Pet Care
Hare to Hound Behaviour and Pet Care is a specialist pet care business run by two sisters in Salford with a genuine passion for animal welfare. Operating for over five years, the company provides dog walking, pet sitting, small animal boarding, and behaviour training services to pet owners across the region.
What sets this business apart is the exceptional qualifications and dedication of its founders, Shannon and Courtney. Both hold BSc degrees in Wildlife Conservation with Zoo Biology, complemented by specialist postgraduate qualifications: Shannon has an MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and Training, whilst Courtney holds an MSc in Animal Welfare and Behaviour. This academic foundation, combined with extensive practical experience working across multiple species, ensures clients receive knowledgeable, evidence-based care rather than amateur pet-sitting.
The team brings genuine expertise to their work, having volunteered at the RSPCA Animal Hospital and RSPCA Manchester and Salford Branch. Both sisters have completed Karen Pryor Dog Training Foundations and Canine Principles Canine Coaching Foundations, demonstrating commitment to positive reinforcement training methods. Shannon additionally works part-time at Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter, maintaining her hands-on experience.
They serve pet owners seeking premium care for dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals, particularly those wanting specialised behaviour support or boarding with caregivers who genuinely understand animal psychology and welfare. Their small, owner-operated model ensures personalised attention and consistent, high-standard care for every animal entrusted to them.
