Behavioural consultations

Training and behavioural needs can vary widely in their complexity  and intensity.  No two dogs are the same, some experience multiple  issues, where as others may just need to focus on one problem.

What ever you are experiencing with your dog, we are here to help.

Common problems include :-

• fear and anxiety
• aggression
• recall
• separation anxiety
• guarding issues
• pulling on lead
• destructiveness
• house training
• jumping up at people
• OCD (shadow or tail chasing)
• travelling
• nuisance barking
• handling or grooming issues

Don’t worry if your dog’s particular problem isn’t listed – it’s highly likely we have seen it before.

• Download and fill out the Behaviour and Training Form below, then email it back to us.

• Send the Vet referral document located below, directly to your Vet, who will complete and send back to us . We may require your dog to have a health check (if a recent visit hasn’t occurred), to rule out any possible underlying medical issues that could be contributing to the behaviour.

• Once we receive the completed documents, we arrange a 30 minute, pre assessment phone call, this will allow us to provide you with some initial support and triage advice.

• During the initial call, we will also schedule a convenient  date and time for the consultation. You will then receive a confirmation email, which you sign, agreeing the information and fees are correct and will be paid on the day.

• Following the visit, you will receive a summary report and training  notes, together with recommended follow up sessions. We will liaise with your vet where necessary.

• Any follow up sessions / packages can be discussed and arranged where appropriate.
