Sara Whittaker Dip CABT leads the team of specialists and has worked extensively with dogs and cats for over eleven years. Sara is also a regular media broadcaster, writer and lecturer. Behaviour consultations are undertaken on an individual basis using the latest concepts in behaviour therapy including practical work where required.

WitsEnd® was founded in 1997 and offered cat and dog behaviour services. Due to the need for on-going support especially with the rehabilitation of dogs, Sara started up WitsEnd® School for Dogs in her back garden in 1998. Following the success of these small compact classes of 4-5 dogs, WitsEnd® School for Dogs moved premises to a 3 storey purpose designed facility at 5 Harold Street, Aylestone, Leicester.

Sadly Sara's dog, Hannah, an 8 year old GSD had to be put down because of arthritis so Sara installed a hydrotherapy pool in January 2001 to help other dogs in Leicester. More recently cat and dog physiotherapy has been added to complement the rehabilitation of pets following injury or illness.
