Behaviour

Consultations

When our dogs show outward signs of what are often labelled ‘problem behaviours’ such as reactivity, resource guarding or separation anxiety, these are often reflections of their emotional state. These emotions can manifest themselves through a variety of undesirable behaviours that can be extremely stressful and worrying for the human guardians.

The behaviours are often a way by which the dog is communicating pain, anxiety or fear, whatever the cause the dog is left unable to cope with certain situations. The key is to help identify the cause, not just treat the symptoms.

Behaviour Consultations

Through the use of positive, scientifically backed processes we can help to rule out possible causes, identify and eliminate contributing factors and devise a behaviour modification programme to help you to help your dog feel good about the world again.  You will get support every step of the way to work through these often difficult issues.

With any behavioural issue it is important that you have a veterinary care professional that will support you and work with other pet care professionals to help find a resolution.

What you will get during the programme:
  • A thorough background history to help identify the cause.

  • An in person consultation to observe the dog in its own surroundings.

  • Some rule outs and control and management strategies.

  • An introduction to lots of appropriate confidence building activities to empower your dog.

  • A behaviour modification programme, tailored to your dogs specific needs.

  • Follow up reports with detailed notes for you to follow.

  • In person assisted/demonstrated training sessions in the appropriate environment.

  • Continued support during training to help you with any bumps in the road.

Cost: £250.00 for 4 sessions or £65 for a single session. Each session is 1 hour.

1-1 Consultation

All the training programmes on offer are also available as 1-1 private sessions if you do not wish to join a class, or  have specific training requirements you would like help with.

 

These can either be held here at my training base in Brinkworth, Wiltshire or in your own home.
