Every dog is an individual, and every behaviour has a reason.
Whether you are welcoming a new puppy, helping a rescue dog settle into their new home, navigating the challenges of adolescence, or struggling with more complex behavioural concerns, our one-to-one consultations provide personalised support tailored to you and your dog.
Many unwanted behaviours, from pulling on the lead, poor recall, jumping up, mouthing and chewing, to reactivity, anxiety, resource guarding, separation-related behaviours and biting incidents, are influenced by a dog’s emotions, learning history, environment, physical wellbeing and individual needs. Understanding these factors is often the first step towards creating lasting change.
As an experienced behaviourist and trainer, I look beyond the behaviour itself to understand why it is happening and what your dog needs to thrive. Together, we will develop a practical, achievable plan designed specifically for your dog, your family and your lifestyle.
Support may include:
- Rescue dog support and settling-in guidance
- Puppy training and socialisation advice
- Adolescent dog challenges
- Reactivity towards dogs, people, vehicles or other triggers
- Fear, anxiety, nervousness and confidence building
- Separation-related behaviours
- Resource guarding of food, toys, furniture or people
- Recall and loose lead walking
- Jumping up, mouthing, chewing and other unwanted behaviours
- Breed-specific enrichment and fulfilment
- Cooperative care and handling exercises
- Everyday life skills and training
Consultations are available in person or online and may include behaviour modification, practical training, management strategies, enrichment recommendations and ongoing support where appropriate.
If you are unsure whether your dog needs training, behaviour support, or a combination of both, a free 15-minute discovery call is the perfect place to start. Together, we can discuss your concerns, your goals and the most appropriate way forward for you and your dog.
