Services

Helping make your dog part of the family

Pet Problems is based on the belief that the clients' (and dogs!) needs are of the utmost importance. This service is committed to meeting those needs, and achieving the results you want. As a result, a high percentage of my business is from repeat clients, referrals from clients, local pet stores and vets.

I deal with many behavioural problems and specific training issues such as;

·       recall

·       lead work

·       reactions towards other dogs on the walk

·       lack of socialisation

·       problems between dogs in same home

·       separation anxiety

·       fearful/nervous behaviour

·       resource guarding

·       general aggression; people/dogs

·      toilet training

·       crate training

·       obedience training

Behavioural Consultations 

Instead of having to travel to a venue with your dog, I will come to your home and have a one on one consultation with you. Where usually the inappropriate behaviour takes place! 

The first visit will be an assessment where I will come and meet the owner and the dog to observe their behaviour and determine their training needs and see how they relate to their environment, owners, and myself. I will ask questions regarding the dog’s history, routine, exercise, diet, behavioural issues etc. This takes about 40 minutes.

The following week you will receive your personalised training/behavioural modification plan explaining the psychology of your dogs behaviour, the causes of any problems and outlining how to react to your dog’s behaviour and subsequently change the dog’s reactions/behaviour, diet, routine or environment in a positive way.
Your plan will include everything you need to know to stop unwanted behaviour and start a more positive and rewarding relationship with your dog.
None of my methods are based around punishment, it is all positive reinforcement training.
