Behaviour Consults

Service Description: Behavioural Consults

Our behavioural consults are designed to address specific issues related to dog-to-dog reactivity, dog-to-human reactivity, and resource guarding. We understand that each dog is unique, and our tailored approach ensures that we meet the individual needs of both the dog and their owner.

Dog-to-Dog Reactivity

Dog-to-dog reactivity can manifest as barking, lunging, or aggressive behaviour when encountering other dogs. Our consults focus on identifying the underlying triggers of this reactivity and developing a personalised training plan using positive reinforcement techniques to help your dog cope in certain situations.

Dog-to-Human Reactivity

For dogs that exhibit reactivity towards humans, whether through barking, growling, or avoidance, we provide a comprehensive assessment to understand the root causes. Our behaviour modification strategies aim to build your dog's confidence and reduce their anxiety around people.

Resource Guarding

Resource guarding occurs when a dog becomes possessive over food, toys, space, people or other items. Our consults focus on teaching your dog to feel safe and secure around their resources, while also helping you learn how to manage and prevent guarding behaviours. Through structured exercises and positive reinforcement, we promote a more harmonious relationship between you and your dog.

What to Expect

• Initial assessment of your dog's behaviour, routines and environment

• Identification of triggers and underlying issues

• Development of a customised training plan
