Dog Behavioural Consultations

The first step is usually a phone call to discuss your issues briefly and explain how the consultation process works.
We'll then send out a form for you to complete before your full behavioural consultation appointment. This form helps us to get a general idea of your dog's behaviour in your home, on walks, with other people etc.
Your consultation appointment will typically take between 1-2 hours. This appointment can take place in your home, out on your dog's usual walk or another suitable location.
During the consultation, we will discuss your dog's behavioural issues along with daily routines, any prior history which may have an influence on the issues and you and/or your family's expectations of what you would like to change.
Please note, if you are self-isolating due to Covid-19 or think you may have symptoms, we will carry out appointments via video call (or reschedule for a later date if applicable). Please see our full covid policy for more details.

After the behavioural consultation has taken place, you will receive a behavioural report (within 14 days) which will outline your dog's issues and provide a diagnosis to help you understand why your dog is displaying these behaviours and what can be done to resolve them.
You will also receive a bespoke training/behavioural modification plan to help you work on your dog's issues. This plan will be specific to your dog's issues (not just a general guide for all dogs) and daily routines. The plan will cover how to carry out the necessary training with your dog to achieve the goals set during the consultation.

Once you have your training plan, further appointments will be arranged to support you during the training process.
These appointments last an hour long, during which we will work through any issues you are having with training and discuss the progress of your dog.
The number of appointments you have will depend on which training package you choose (3 or 6). You can also book additional appointments after your package sessions are finished (see Packages/Pricing).
While most dogs will respond to training or behaviour modification well, the speed at which they progress may differ between individuals. This is why we also offer support once your training sessions have ended (see Packages/Pricing for more details).
