• Behaviour Consultations

  • It’s wonderful to have a dog that is a joy at home and out and about. They love interacting with you and vice versa – it enriches the lives of both owner and dog. Sometimes however, our dogs begin to show signs of abnormal behaviour and we need some help and guidance to overcome these issues to get things back on track. If this is the case or you are struggling with a specific dog behaviour problem, please contact us.

    Behaviour issues can come in lots of different forms from separation anxiety to reactivity.

    We would ask you to complete a comprehensive New Client Questionnaire prior to the consultation, to give as much background on the behavioural issue as possible to enable us to be able to help you in the best way. Often cases will also be taken on a vet referral basis to help rule out any medical issues that may be the underlying cause of the issue.

  • Details

    An initial consultation will be carried out online via Zoom.  During the session we will be able to talk through the issues you are experiencing and discuss a plan of action. This may also require a face to face session or ongoing support online depending on the nature of the behavioural issue.

    You will receive a written training plan tailored specifically for you and your dog which will take you through a structured plan to address the behavioural issues you are experiencing. A copy of the plan can also be sent to your veterinary surgeon too if required.

    The work we do together may involve a mixture of online and face to face sessions as appropriate and depending on the nature of the behavioural issue.  This enables us to offer a complete care package to our clients and work closely with them. 

    IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER that changing behaviour is subject to many different variables, there is no quick fixes or guarantees that the problem will be fixed within a certain time period.  However the best results are achieved when owners:

    • Commit to the training plan supplied to them
    • Ensure that the whole family are being consistent with the suggested training plan
    • Bear in mind and consider the dog's emotional and physical wellbeing at all times
    • Stay in contact with me where requested
