GoodPet’s emphasis is on developing relationships between animals and their humans, who are taught to interact with their pets at all levels, from education to recreation. GoodPet adopts a holistic approach and the company works closely with recognised experts in the field who are committed to gaining and sharing scientific and practical knowledge. A particular interest is the link between human psychology and animal behaviour, and how a deeper understanding of both will help to promote positive human-animal interaction. Positive reinforcement and motivational training methods are used exclusively to empower animals and their people. All trainers and behaviourists who work under the GoodPet umbrella are duly qualified and holds to the high ethical- and training standards required, meaning you and your dog are not only in safe hands, but also have the best at your disposal! These are some of the key personnel working closely with GoodPet to ensure optimum results. Mari Borain studied for a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Natal before working in the United States. After returning to South Africa, she worked in public relations for television and newspaper publications to help fund further studies in the field of animal behaviour. In 2010 Mari launched her own company, GoodPet Trading, which focuses on every aspect of dog and other domestic animal interaction. She has a holistic approach and works closely with various experts in the field who are committed to gaining and sharing knowledge. Mari has diplomas for Bird, Cat, Dog and Horse Behaviour, as well as Advanced Dog Behaviour and Animal Assisted Activity. She has focused much attention on teaching people to handle dogs and has completed with honours various instructor courses. She has been asked to testify in court as an expert witness on errant dog behaviour. She is currently furthering her studies as a T-Touch Practitioner (Tellington Touch), which is recognized worldwide. This art increases communication skills and deepens the relationship between animals and people through a gentle method of bodywork and movement exercises that positively influences behaviour, performance and well-being. Mari is an accredited member of SABCAP (South African Board for Companion Animal professionals) where she is a committee member. She is also an accredited handler for Paws For People, which uses dogs to assist with rehabilitation of chronically ill patients. She is particularly interested in the link between human psychology and animal behaviour and has encouraged others to explore the fascinating scientific study of animal behaviour via her GoodPet Facebook group. Her greatest passion is to see committed people producing results while doing what they enjoy. She shares space in Durban with a Boerbul, snakes, tortoises, fish, frogs and a few human beings whom she is trying to persuade to behave more like animals! Besides her love for animals she is also an accomplished dancer and has taken part in various shows such as Shall We Dance at the Durban Playhouse.
