As an animal behaviourist, Alex specialises in dealing with ‘unwanted’ or ‘problematic’ behaviours. Alex adopts the ‘LIMA’ Approach with all he does with horses. LIMA stands for “Least-Intrusive, Minimally-Aversive” and it means that we aim to ensure that we are using the least-intrusive methods and the minimally-aversive methods. The IAABC.org have a position statement on what LIMA is here. It essentially means that Alex employs a strict standard of ethics in his training and behaviour consultations, whilst being able to provide practical and realistic training and behavioural help.
