Behaviour problems can be seen in dogs of all shapes and sizes, pure breeds, mixed breeds, rescue dogs etc. There used to be only 3 choices, live with the problem, re-home the dog or worst case scenario put the dog down.
LUCKILY with behaviour modification and the use of positive reward methods, owners are now able to work with their dogs’ behaviour and greatly improve if not completely solve most problems.
​
​There are many reasons for behavioural problems developing, lack of exercise, wrong food, lack of training, inappropriate training, bad genetics, strong working breed traits, lack of socialisation, boredom, wrong breed of dog for the lifestyle of the owner, the list is endless. No matter what the problem help is at hand.
What Happens At A Consultation?
​
I send you a comprehensive consultation form to fill in. We then arrange a time for us to have a consultation. I will often require you to have taken your dog to the vet to have a full medical check up before our consultation. The first session is done via Zoom. Full instructions will be given.
​​
I work holistically with behaviour problems which means i look at every aspect which may affect the behaviour this includes, diet, environmental influences, equipment (that is currently being used and advising on new equipment if necessary), medical issues, medication, genetic influences including breed traits, supplements, training measures, control and management and a full behaviour modification programme.
After the consultation i will send you a full report and if requested an audio recording of the consultation can be sent to you. Then 3 - 4 weeks later we have either a face to face lesson or a Zoom Catch up session.
All follow up lessons are done at a training location in Binfield.
Please note all packages must be paid for in advance and there is a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel within 48 hours of your scheduled session then that session is forfeit. All cancellations must be done by email.
