Behavioural CONSULtATIONS

Modern, force free Behaviour Adjustment Theraphy

The key to resolving any behavioural issues with your four legged friend is to develop a better understanding of how your dog views the world. It is important to look holistically at the situation when problem solving in order to identify where the behaviour stems from and what the driving forces are.

A wealth of experience has taught me that many behavioural issues arise as a result of confused communications between the Human / Dog species leading to misunderstanding and frustrations on both parts.

You will be taught a new natural method of communicating that involves body language, hand signals and vocal tones. It is simple, fast and effective to apply and will be entirely intuitive from your dogs’ perspective. Once in place, your dog will be able to understand your intentions and differentiate between desirable and undesirable behaviour.

Problems:

Nuisance barking
Destructive behaviours, such as digging & chewing
Separation anxiety
Inappropriate toilet habits indoors
Guarding food, toys, personal effects or even the sofa
Aggression towards other dogs
Aggression towards other people or even yourselves
Obsessive compulsive behaviours
Chasing cats, squirrels, livestock, cyclists, joggers,cars or anything that moves
Hyper-activity
Lunging on the lead
Any other crazy problems you may need help sorting

What happens during the session?

An initial assessment will be carried out taking into account the full history (as much as possibly for rescue dogs) of the dog. This will enable me to diagnose the root causes of the problems and help me to explain the problem/world through your dogs eyes.

You will be taught how to implement effective intuitive communication, using voice tone, hand signals and body language.
We will work through each of the issues you have in turn. You will receive coaching and clear instruction on what to do, how and when, before we put it into practice. I will always demonstrate.
There may be some role-play scenarios to deal with specific issues. We may also need to 'manufacture' specific scenarios.
My clients usually notice a noticeable change in their dogs behaviour by the end of the consultation.

I will never use physical force, electric shock collars, choke or prong collars just plenty of positive praise and simple rules and boundaries to follow. In fact NO trainer should ever have to use force on ANY dog.
