Behaviour challenges are rarely about a dog being stubborn, dominant or deliberately difficult. More often, they are a sign that a dog is finding something in their world overwhelming, confusing or hard to cope with.
Living with a dog who is struggling can feel exhausting and isolating. This service offers calm, structured behaviour support for dogs experiencing ongoing emotional or behavioural difficulties, and for owners who want thoughtful guidance rather than quick fixes.
Is behaviour support right for your dog?
This service is suitable for dogs experiencing challenges such as:
- Reactivity towards people, dogs or the environment
- Anxiety-based behaviours
- Fearfulness or confidence issues
- Resource guarding
- Ongoing behaviour concerns that impact daily life
How behaviour support works:
Step 1: Information gathering: Before we meet, I gather detailed background information to understand your dog’s history, environment and current challenges.
Step 2: Behaviour assessment: We assess your dog’s behaviour in context, looking at patterns, triggers and underlying factors..
Step 3: Planning and prioritising change: A realistic, tailored plan is created, focusing on what will make the biggest difference first.
Step 4: Teaching and coaching: I support you in implementing the plan, helping both you and your dog build skills and confidence.
Step 5: Progression and proofing: Behaviour change is supported over time, adapting the plan as your dog develops and situations change.
