Black Dog Behaviour and Training

I can work with you and your dog on training and behaviour issues to help you understand each other better and improve your relationship, and therefore help resolve any problematic behaviours. I work using science led, proven, modern positive methods, without punishment or intimidation. Training services include teaching you and your dog skills together and behaviour services include working with you and your dog to identify more in depth behaviour issues and working on a behaviour modification plan together.

FULL BEHAVIOUR CONSULTATION

Each dog is an individual with their own needs, so a behaviour package tailored to their specific requirements is important to be able to help you and them. I am able to help with a range of behaviours such as reactivity to dogs and people, separation related behaviour, anxiety and many more. I operate on a vet referral basis. The full behaviour consultation includes:

  • Full history taking via questionnaire
  • 90 – 120 minute consultation at your home/online
  • Bespoke behaviour and training plan provided to you and your vet
  • 1 hour follow up meeting at your home

  • Liaison with your vet on referral and on implementation of the plan

£165 for the full behaviour package

Discounted rate of £135 for the full behaviour package to adopters from One Wish Dog Foundation

For any follow up visits required, an additional £40 per one hour session, or £30 to adopters from One Wish Dog Foundation
