Jacqueline is passionate about making the world a better place for dogs and their people, by enhancing peoples’ understanding of what dogs really need and how us humans can help them, especially through improving their welfare via evidence-based management, nutrition, and training.
Jacqueline holds a first-class BSc (Hons) in Zoology (Parasitology), an MSc (with distinction) in Animal Nutrition, a PhD in Genetics, a postgraduate certificate in higher education and is a certified humane education specialist (CHES). She has worked in academic research exploring nematode genetics and has lectured students in animal science, teaching on a wide range of subjects from nutrition to genetics and researching the kinematics of sports dogs (amongst other things).
There has also been a stint in the commercial world as a canine and equine nutritionist, gaining further industry-related nutrition and advisory skills.
Jacqueline currently writes, coaches, and consults on all aspects of canine science and works part time as a Senior Lecturer in Animal Science at Nottingham Trent University. She also tutors canine-related short courses and is an Affiliate at The University of Glasgow, School of Veterinary Medicine. Jacqueline is a full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT, 01583) and is an Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC) Registered Animal Training Instructor. This means that Jacqueline has extensive academic, educational and industry experience.
In addition, Jacqueline writes regularly for the canine press, and has authored seven book chapters relating to animal nutrition and canine science. In 2023, her first book was published by The Crowood Press, titled ‘Canine Nutrition – Food, Feeding and Function’.
Jacqueline has also lectured on aspects on animal health and welfare abroad through her voluntary work with a UK based animal welfare charity and is a regular guest speaker at canine events.
Living with, working, and training her five cocker spaniels in a range of canine disciplines, from agility to gundog work, to heelwork-to-music, means that Jacqueline also has a robust understanding of the practical realities of the dog world from a personal perspective, adding to the “real-word” applications of her experience and content delivery and writing, as well as keeping her very firmly grounded and smiling a lot!
