Malcolm Balish is a lifelong dog lover, canine behaviourist, dog trainer, and the owner of Dogzdaycare.

Before working with dogs, Malcolm spent many years in hospitality and hotel management. Although it was a long-standing career, his real passion was always animals, especially dogs. A major turning point came after the early loss of his beloved Lurcher, Finn, whose death led Malcolm to study canine behaviour, training, nutrition, and health in far greater depth.

Through Dogzdaycare and Better Dog Behaviour, Malcolm has spent years working closely with dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. His daily experience with dogs has shaped the way he understands behaviour, trust, communication, and the human-dog relationship.

Malcolm’s writing is honest, direct, thoughtful, and often humorous. He does not claim to have all the answers, but he does believe in asking better questions, learning from dogs, and allowing them to be understood as the intelligent, emotional, and individual animals they are.

At home, Malcolm shares life with his wife Katie, their family, and their dogs, including Luna the Great Dane, whose rescue story became one of the most meaningful chapters in his journey.
