CURRENTLY NOT TAKING ON ANY NEW CLIENTS

Due to my work as a University Lecturer and starting my PhD on the psychological impacts of canine aggression and the use of educative tools, I am unable to take on any new clients. 

​

I apologise for any inconvenience. 

Behaviour Modification for Problem Behaviours in Dogs and Cats

Problem behaviours can occur in any pet at any time, and they can be very difficult and stressful to manage. This stress can also impact the bond between you and your pet, making it even more difficult. 

I am confident that if we work together, we can learn to understand your pets behaviour, and decide an appropriate way to deal with it, helping to rekindle your bond with your pet. â€‹

​

As an FABC and CCAB member, you may be able to use your insurance provider to cover the cost of behavioural work. Please contact them to find out more.

Problem Behaviour in Cats:

​

THE PROCESS

​

Solving problem behaviours is done by identifying the underlying emotions and motivation for each of their behaviours, and how this relates to their everyday life.

We will then work together to improve to change their motivations in different contexts to gradually change their emotions. This is an incredibly fun challenge in pet training! It teaches you more about your pet and their emotions and can enhance the bond phenomenally!

01

Veterinary Referral:

Please contact your Vet to book your pet in for a check over to see if there may be any medical cause for their behaviour. Contact me via email or WhatsApp and I will provide you with the Owner Referral Form. Once this is filled in, I will then send this to your vets and along with the Veterinary Referral Form.  

02

Behaviour Questionnaire:

Once the veterinary referral and medical history have been received, I will then send you our terms and conditions form and the extensive behaviour questionnaire to fill in to the best of your ability. There are an additional 3 questionnaires that will assess your dog's emotions.

will assess the medical history and questionnaires, and make notes on any further information I may need. 

03

Consultation: 

We will then organise a consultation to discuss all the other information, what I believe the problem is, and an overview of treatment. This can either be in person or online.

​

04

Behaviour Report:

Following the consultation, I will then go away and create a behaviour report outlining everything we discussed and the treatment plan. This will also be sent to your vets for their records. 

​

 

 

05

Follow-Up Meetings:

After 3 months, I will contact you to review treatment via a Teams call, and see how things are progressing or if anything needs changing in the treatment plan. This will again be done at 6 months. 

Cat Cases: There will be one Follow-Up at 3 months. 

​

06

On-Call Advice:

Due to my busy schedule as a University Lecturer, I am unable to offer additional training sessions, however, I can give advice throughout your programme and I can recommend some trainers who can help you implement the training.
