Behaviour consultations are for dogs whose issues are more behavioural in origin, and may require more intensive education in order to resolve them.
Consultations usually take around three-four hours, and are normally carried out at the owners home. That time is spent gathering a history of the dog, it’s problems and why I think that it has them, it’s relationship with you and your family, and how we will aim to re-educate the dog and remove any problem behavioural or training issues.
We would also look at things like the dogs exercise regime and diet to make sure that there is nothing there that may be contributing to your problems.
We will also do some training while I am there to ensure that the dog is more responsive to you even before I leave your house.
I then take all of that information away with me and write a step-by-step program for you to follow to put right the problems we have discussed.
I then get you to keep in touch on the phone on a weekly basis for as long as you feel necessary. So between the consultation, written program and follow-ups, you should only need the one visit.
