BEHAVIOUR CONSULTATIONS

What to expect.

I don't have a magic wand. Nobody does. You and your dog are living, breathing, feeling creatures.  Behaviour change will take time and effort. 

It would be ridiculous for me to guarantee anything other than the possibility for change.  That always exists if we are willing and able to make some adjustments. 

​

What I CAN do is:

  • Empathise with how difficult this is for you and your dog.

  • See things that you will be missing. 

  • Help you understand what might be going on.

  • Consider your specific situation, not some imaginary perfect one!

  • Make practical suggestions to help you and your dog immediately, and over the longer term.​

Session details.

These can be face to face, on the phone or by Zoom.

Ideally I will come to your home and see your living situation. This helps me identify what you may not be seeing.

​​​​

People often just want one consultation. I understand this makes it more affordable. However, continued struggle has an emotional cost; distress, frustration, anxiety. 

As a result, I have adjusted what I offer to make it affordable for more people and to avoid information overload which can get in the way of taking any action.  

​

  • Consultation cost - $2 per minute.  You set your budget and we work within it.  This allows us to have several shorter sessions spread over a period of time, for the same cost as one longer one.

  • You may take notes or record the consultations.

  • Or I take notes, and send them to you (Additional cost for these).

  • Travel costs - first 10km free. After that costs of 65c/km apply. ​

Stressed puppy

Who is this for?

Owners who are doing their best to be loving and responsible.

​

 * You want to help your dog. 

* You want to be able to enjoy your dog's company.

*You are willing to make some changes to improve everyone's quality of life.

​

*Dogs who are bored and frustrated. They're hyperactive, perhaps destructive and noisy.

​

*Dogs and puppies who are timid, sensitive, anxious and need to build their confidence.

(Addressing trauma is my area of special interest.)

​

*Puppies - preventative medicine. Understanding your puppy as a baby, an individual and a member of its breed.

Socialisation (it might not be what you think it is). 

Get them off to a great start!
