Behaviour Consultation

Service Description

Behaviour struggles can be very frustrating and can leave you feeling that there is no hope. But there is always hope and once you have a better understanding of your dog's issues, and some strategies and support, then you can begin your behaviour modification journey with a positive mindset. Historically, behaviourists have focused on changing the end behaviour, but recent advances in our understanding of the dog's emotional brain means that we now focus initially on restoring a calm and confident mental state, make sure your dog's physical and mental needs are being met, THEN focus on training specific behaviours to help. My approach to behaviour cases is to firstly ensure that there are no health issues that may be affecting your dogs's behaviour. This is why veterinary referral is so important. The behaviour modification programme is designed to "reshape" your dogs brain in a positive way, change how he perceives the events that cause him worry or frustration and help him make better choices. All in a fun , positive way that doesn't even feel like training. You and your dog deserve to live your best life together and I am privileged to help you on that journey. ​ What the Behaviour Support programme includes: A comprehensive in-person behaviour assessment (90–120 minutes) A tailored behaviour and training plan based on your dog, your home and your lifestyle Follow-up sessions to support progress and make adjustments Ongoing guidance between sessions Evidence-based, reward-based training methods Dynamic Dog Functional assessment Veterinary Liaison Core Behaviour Support Programme – £550 ✔ Initial assessment ✔ Written plan ✔ 2 follow-up sessions ✔ Email support ✔ 6–8 weeks of guidance Comprehensive Behaviour Support Programme – £695 ✔ Initial assessment ✔ Written plan ✔ 3 follow-up sessions ✔ Priority email support ✔ Up to 10 weeks of guidance
