Behaviour Counselling

It is important to realise that while your dog or cat is unique it is very unlikely that the problem behaviour is. I will work with you to find a solution that is not only manageable but is individually tailored to fit in with your family, home and lifestyle. There are many differing definitions of what constitutes a problem. For example some people might define an aggressive dog as one which bites, where as others may feel that barking or growling constitutes aggression. However, if you feel your animals’ behaviour is a problem then it needs to be resolved and I can help you with this. Many owners worry that they have caused their dogs behaviour, it is true that owners can inadvertently reinforce bad behaviour, but owners should not blame themselves. It is the responsible owner who seeks help to remedy the problems. Whatever the problem, there is usually a way of either managing it or resolving it so that owners can live happily with their pet, the start of this process is the behavioural consultation.

A consultation usually takes one and a half to two hours, depending on the complexity of the problem. During the consultation the problems you are experiencing with your pet are discussed in detail and a full history taken of your pet’s lifestyle. This will enable the behaviourist to fully understand the problem and provide you with the correct advice in order to help you and your pet. A written report will follow the consultation detailing the problem and rehabilitation programme. Clients are encouraged to keep in touch on a weekly basis by phone/email to discuss progress, telephone / email support is available as often as it is needed until the problems are resolved.
