Behaviour consultation
Better understand your dogs behaviour to enhance behaviour change and live a happier life with your dog.
A written behaviour & training treatment plan will be provided after initial consultation to give you practical training advice to implement in your own time.

How it works:
​Use the contact form below to get in touch & request this service with a brief description of the problem behaviour.
​
After contact you will receive an email containing:
-
A veterinary referral form to discuss with your vet for a referral to this service. This service is only available after a health check with your vet.
-
A pre-consultation form to fill out in detail. This form will ask questions surrounding the history of the behaviour & context as well as routine questions such as diet and daily routine.​ This form must be returned before 24 hours of your consultation.
-
Payment information and choice of availability for your 2-hour (approx.) zoom consultation.
-
Upon received payment, chosen appointment time, and completed veterinary referral form, you will receive a booking confirmation email containing zoom login details.​
​
During your consultation we will discuss:
-
In-depth your dogs behaviour​
-
Explanation will be given as to why this behaviour is occurring as well as advice to best manage and minimise unwanted behaviour or maximise desired behaviour.
-
Practical elements of training will be given to progress behaviour change.
-
A behaviour report will be sent to detail and further explain what we have discussed during your consultation, and will contain detailed handouts for practical training sessions for you and your dog. A copy of this report will also be sent to your vet. Should veterinary input be required, this will be discussed with you and your vet.
​
Additional follow-on sessions for support with practical elements of the plan:
Many owners find that the consultation gives them enough to work with their dogs effectively, however, sometimes follow-on sessions (on zoom or in-person) may be required to progress with your dogs training. These are recommended to ensure you are on the right track!
- In-person sessions may be carried out at your home or a private secure field.
- Follow on sessions can be booked for up to 3 months after the initial consultation. A new behaviour consultation and vet referral will be needed after this time.
