Dog Behaviour

‘My dog is absolutely perfect except for…’  is the most common thing I hear when I speak to any new client! 

Perhaps your dog barks at other dogs, is anxious around strangers, or you just can’t seem to crack toilet training. Whatever the problem, I am here to reassure you there is a solution and nearly all problem behaviours can be modified.

I believe that dog training needs to be a fully tailored process- no two dogs are the same and so each training plan needs to reflect this! During our first session I carry out a holistic assessment of the dog and carefully examine every aspect of the behavioural issues you’re experiencing, lifestyle factors and the specific challenges you’re facing.

Having experienced thousands of cases of dogs with all manor of issues ranging from severe anxiety to aggression over the last 8 years I know just how important it is to find out as much as possible about the individual case before any behavioural modification begins.

After this we discuss your options in taking steps to begin training that will start to alleviate the problems you’re facing, as well as any lifestyle changes if appropriate. If you’d like to learn more about how things work please visit my ‘The Process’ page or check out FAQs!

Ultimately I succeed in teaching owners how to train their dog- giving people the tools to modify their pets behaviour themselves. I want to teach you how to spend the most time possible enjoying your pets. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than restoring harmony in people’s relationships with ‘man’s best friend’.

In my opinion the best way to make lasting changes to your dogs behaviour is to come into your home and teach you how to do this yourself. In my 1-2-1 Behavioural Consultation I endeavour to find the root cause of the unwanted behaviour and devise a plan of how to teach you how to better communicate to your dog that this behaviour is unwanted.
