Beyond Reactivity

Beyond Reactivity, led by registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist Matty Al-Irimi, delivers in-person behaviour programmes and one-to-one training sessions across London, addressing reactivity, aggression, fear, and separation anxiety through evidence-based, reward-based methods. With a First Class BSc in Applied Animal Behavioural Science and Welfare, ABTC CAB registration, and APBC membership, Matty creates tailored plans from face-to-face assessments that consider urban challenges like noise and crowds.

Rooted in desensitisation, counter-conditioning, and shaping—avoiding force or aversive tools—sessions focus on emotional wellbeing, long-term change, and city life skills in clients' homes or local areas. Matty's background includes hands-on work with reactive dogs, youth support building trust skills, and personal success rehabilitating her Romanian rescue Aisha from urban stress.

Owners value Matty's compassionate, welfare-first guidance that restores calm companionship. Her ethical expertise transforms exhausting challenges into confident bonds. Experience professional support grounded in science and empathy.
