BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT

Behavioural difficulties can have several contributing factors, and what looks like the same problem in two dogs may require very different approaches. The assessment helps me understand your dog's individual circumstances before recommending appropriate support.

I review every enquiry personally to establish whether I'm the right professional to help. Some cases may require veterinary involvement or a different specialist. I'd rather be upfront about that than accept a booking that isn't appropriate for you or your dog.

Yes. Much of an initial behaviour assessment involves exploring your dog's history, the situations in which behaviours occur and what happens before and afterwards. Existing video footage can also be useful where appropriate. If in-person observation would be beneficial, we can discuss that separately.

The assessment is a starting point, not a promise of an immediate solution. You'll receive initial recommendations and guidance on appropriate next steps. Behaviour modification often requires ongoing work, and progress varies between individual dogs and circumstances.

You'll receive a written summary of our findings, initial recommendations and suggested next steps. Where appropriate, we can discuss further training or behaviour support tailored to your dog. Any additional work is arranged and priced separately.

 No. German Shepherds and Malinois are particular areas of interest, and I especially enjoy working with high-energy, high-drive and powerful breeds. However, I welcome enquiries about other breeds too. Every dog is considered individually.
