Behavioural Assessment

If your dog is displaying unwanted behaviours and you want to modify them. I can provide essential information to assist you:-

  • Enable you to manage any difficult behaviour
  • Prevent any further behavioural problems
  • Teach your dog new skills

 

As a qualified Dog Behaviourist I will visit you and your dog at your home. I will assess the presenting issues which have caused anxieties for both you and your dog. It maybe necessary for your dog to undertake a full veterinary consultation, as many canine behaviours 'may' have an underlining medical condition. We all want the best for your dogs, therefore a complete full assessment is fundamental to improve the dog's difficulties.

 

Dogs deserve to enjoy life and need to relax in their surroundings. A dog needs a stable owner who can provide:-

  • Consistency of care
  • Appropriate level of daily exercise
  • Correct discipline for obedience
  • Love and affection for their sense of well being

I promise to support and motivate you through the modification process to re-train your dog.
