What is a behaviour problem?

It is a situation or problem that the owner feels they cannot cope with. The range of behavioural problems is extensive and can be anything from a housetraining problem to severe aggression.  Behavioural problems are outside the scope of normal training and are usually influenced by other varied internal and external factors.  A qualified dog behaviourist can recognise and correct these factors to solve the original problem.  Re homing or euthanasia should not be necessary, in most cases the dog can be rehabilitated through behaviour modification. The results of behaviour modification is largely dependant on the owners putting the necessary work in to change the dogs’ behaviour after a consultation.
The consultation, usually last two hours, is conducted at the owners own home where the influencing factors may lay. After an in depth discussion a detailed treatment program is formulated and a confirmation report is either sent by e-mail or post to the client. I ask my clients to keep in touch weekly until the owners feel they can go it alone.

Examples of some of common behavioural problems.  The problems can be singular or in combinations BUT a very high percentage is curable.

Most of my behaviour consultations are referrals by  vets and satisfied clients, but in addition I'm being asked to provide an e-mail service.  After successful trials by e-mail to English clients I now feel I can offer this service for the more simple or straight forward cases.  Please contact me to discuss if this option is relevant for you.
