Behaviour Consultations
Are You Struggling With Your Dogs Behaviour?
Consultations are usually a 2 hour session in your home (we can then travel to other places if able and necessary).
First, you have a referral form filled out by your vet. This ensures that any potential medical issues are not going to interfere with the training. As a behaviourist I can only work on veterinary referral
You can find your referral form below
Your dogs behaviour problem can be difficult, frustrating and embarassing and can take away from the enjoyment of having your dog.

How Does A Consultation Work?
Dog Behaviour Consultation Process
Pre-Consultation Questionnaire
So we can provide tailored guidance, you will be asked to complete a pre-consultation questionnaire. This form typically includes questions about the dog's medical history, daily routine, training history, and specific incidents related to the behaviour you are seeing.Your Appointment
We will meet, either at your home or at a relevent location. I may observe your dog’s behaviour and identifying any triggers or environmental factors that may contribute to the issues.Discussion with the Owner
We will have an in-depth discussion and explore your concerns in detail. This conversation allows us to dive deep into specific incidents, discuss your dog’s temperament, life and share any training you have done previously.Behaviour Modification Plan
Based on the assessment, we will come up with a customised behaviour modification plan. This plan includes training techniques, management strategies, and recommendations for enriching the dog’s environment.Follow-Up Support
After the initial consultation, we will schedule follow-up sessions to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to the behaviour modification plan.
Using management strategies, we aim to reduce the emotional impact the behaviour is having on you and your dog.
Using ethical, reward based training techniques, we will aim to give you and your dog stratagies to reduce the problem behaviour
Veterinary Referral
We work on veterinary referral because medical issues have been know to cause or worsen behaviour issues.
Referral means that a vet can tell us and appropriately treat anything that can get in the way of training success.
If you don’t rule out or approprately treat medical issues that could be causing the behaviour, you are wasting your time with training
Prices
We offer behaviour packages which include a consultation and follow up sessions.
Sometimes it is possible to claim my fees on insurance. Please contact your insurance provider if this is something you want to do.
