Behaviour Consultations

Behaviour problems in dogs may need addressing in several ways and may need a combination of training, behaviour modification and drug treatment depending on the problem.

Behaviour consultations are usually in conjunction with a vet and after a full veterinary examination has taken place, however some problems that owners feel are behaviour problems are purely down to bad manners which then presents as bad behaviour. I am fully insured to work alongside your vet. 

Behaviour consultations begin with a telephone screen to assess the problem, this is free of charge. Followed by a home visit which would ordinarily take around 2 hours. This would be followed by either a behaviour modification program, a training program or drug therapy (which can only be prescribed by a vet) or a combination of all three. Behaviour consultations are quoted for during the telephone screening process although as a general rule I charge £60 per hour with the first consult costing £150. To enable you to get the most from your money I would like to draw your attention to the fact that you will only get out of a behaviour or training session dependant on what time and effort you are willing to put in inbetween. There is no quick fix regardless of what anyone may tell you. I do not hold with Ceasar Milan techniques so please do expect me to use any methods that may shut a dog down.

You can pre purchase a behaviour package as follows:

Initial consult and 3 sessions (the usual length of time to see a change in behaviour) £300 (saving you £30)

Initial consult and 5 sessions (this is usually enough time to see real changes in behaviour) £420 (saving you £30)

Follow up is available by phone and e-mail and is free of charge and extra visits can be arranged on an adhoc basis at £60 per hour if the package you select is not sufficient. Support can be as much or as little as you require.
